It's getting to be that time of year again. Soon some of us will be putting stabilizer in the gas before storage.

I've never done it ... So what do you like to use ? and How are you putting it in? Mixing in a gallon jug after a fill up and adding it ?

Also, are there certain brands that are better than others? or brands that might hurt the car? Hurt the O2 sensors, injectors, orings, seals??

What's the winter plan ?

gas stabilizer....hmm..I heard if u use it, it fixes the gas sloshing issue.

Seriously, use stabil. follow the instruction on the bottle.

How in the Hell can you store it for the whole winter, surely there are nice days that you can drive it. But if you have to put in the fuel stabilizer and then fill it up, while filling up it mixes everything well and then on the drive home it put it through the rest of the fuel system.

definitely add it with todays ethanol gas that shit gets funky if you dont add stabil to it. like yellow2ss said add it then fill the tank. driving home also will slosh it around and mix it well. do a couple break checks along the way too
