I just read about an interesting product that "might" help with ethanol in fuel. It's called Sta-bil Marine formula for ethanol fuels. The hyperlink is:http://goldeagle.com. I might give it a shot when we get alcohol in our area. So far, I am able to get fuel alcohol free.
I do know that my Rotax 912 does not like old fuel as it ran on and turned backwards on shut down twice when I had two month old fuel in the tanks. I drained the tanks, put the fuel in my truck, and I had to go through the purge procedure and valve clearance check on my 912. I don't want to do that again so I am always adding Stabil to my fuel (and am using the mid grade auto fuel as well)

Fuels should not be used after 4 weeks. They evaporate and lose their additives and octane the rating decreases. Just adding more gas stabilizers aren't always the answer. You may end up with too much or not enough.
