Question 1

i just bought a new lawn mower, should i add this to the fuel right away or wait till winter, when im storing it??

Accepted Answer

Star Tron does much more than "just stabilize," so for best results, it should be added every time you fuel the engine. It is a year-round fuel treatment for use in all fuels and all engines.

Question 2

Can i dump a gallon or two into my  bulk gas tank. iI have a 5000 gallon tank. I have alot of small engines and we are having alot of problems.

Dennis:  I followed the instructions given on the bottle.  Since I did not have the bottle in front of me, I went to the site to get the ratio for you.  Note there is an initial/first treatment which takes a little higher dose.  But after that you use the lower amount to maintain maintenance and performance of the product.  Here is the ratio: Q: How much Star tron should I use in gasoline or diesel fuel?A: There are three concentrations for mixing convenience.143XX SEF | Small Engine Formula - Add 1 fl. oz. for every 6 gallons of gas.930XX Standard Formula - Add 1 fl. oz. for every 16 gallons of gas.931XX Diesel / Industrial Formula -  Add 1 fl. oz. of Star tron Diesel Additive for every 32 gallons of diesel fuel.  Star Tron is safe to overdose and can be mixed with other additives. TIP FOR SMALL BATCH MIXING10 Star Tron capfuls equal roughly 1 ounce FIRST DOSE* 143xx Small Engine Formula - 1 CAP treats 0.3 gallons* 930xx Marine / Standard Formula - 1 CAP treats .8 gallons* 931xx Diesel / Concentrated Formula - 1 CAP treats 1.6 gallons MAINTENANCE DOSE* 143xx Small Engine Formula - 1 CAP treats .6 gallons* 930xx Marine / Standard Formula - 1 CAP treats 1.6 gallons* 931xx Diesel / Concentrated Formula - 1 CAP treats 3.2 gallons Initial treatment should be double the maintenance dosages. Overdosing is not harmful.Hope this helps you in answering your question.  As by my review, I have gotten amazing results with my engines.  Also concerning your small engines in your garden equipment, if you did not already know, ethanol is killing them over a period of time without this type of additive.  If I can be of more help please let me know.

Question 3

Can I use it for storage gasoline in gas can for long period of time?

Accepted Answer

I live in Florida and put this in my generator and stored gas cans at the start of every hurricane season. I have 20+ gallons in 5 gallon cans that is 3+ years old this spring. I put a double dose in the cans and the generator and let it sit for a day. I give the generator a few pulls over that time to clear the old gas out of the line and it starts right up again every spring! Star brite says it only lasts 2 years, but I think if you add a new dose every year it might last way longer than that.  My gas is 3 1/2 yrs old and still runs fine.

Question 4

I have heard if someone uses this product,there is no need to fog the cylinders in an outboard for storage. Is this true?

Accepted Answer

It is always a good idea to fog the cylinders for any length of storage. Not all oils leave enough residue on the internal parts to fight off corrosion from water and fuel. Each is hard and has bad effects especially if your using ethanol fuels. This would help prevent corrosion. Hope this helps
