I have 3/4 a tank of fuel (ethanol included) in my boat right now. When I filled the tank i added the correct amount of Startron. This was 4 weeks ago. I’m looking at going out in the morning, anybody think 4 weeks is too long to let the fuel sit?
How long can fuel sit in a tank with StarTron added?
I parked my boat last fall with about 40 gal of E-10 treated with Startron and Ring-Free. This spring I dunked it in and she started up in 2 seconds. I ran the boat as low as I could before I re-filled it this spring. I plan on treating every tank.
But remember, that was $4.50 gas. Must have been special to cost that much!

Filled my boat last fall before I started reading all the post about E-10 fuel problems. I did use Stay-Bil and was worried a little bit when I went on the lake for the first time in Feb. I did run the engine about 10 min. the day before I went fishing. I’ve ran out about half of the tank since then with no noticeable problems…
I Ran the boat all day today on fresh fuel (treated with StarTron) not a single issue! I must say for a 21 year old motor it runs like new! I know Charleston is Yamaha country but I’m content and enjoying my Johnson!
