Start your Engines! Fuel system Revitalizer

[lobo11]

I saw a new product in the Bailey's catalog it is called Start your Engines! Fuel system Revitalizer. It is made by Golden Eagle and is supposed to be used if you have left gas sit in a tank for a long time, or at the begining of the season, i.e. after winterizing. Not sure if anyone has heard anything about it but I am thinking about giving it a whirl instead of my normal seafoam treatment I run through on my first tank of gas in the snowblower. ANyone heard anything about this stuff?

Nope.

Probably just highly combustible material to boost the burnability of your old gas. Might make your mower burn water, and/or itself up. Try direct hooking it to an ether drip. When you find it a week later in the next county, it should be all better.

Probably a mix of kerosene or other light solvent, oil, and alcohol...like most of that carp that comes in a bottle with a fancy new sticker.

Gold Eagle not Golden Eagle. They make Stabil as well. I'll try and find an MSDS to try and see what is in this stuff.

Found the MSDS sheet, snake oil unless you are into Isopropanol, Butyl Methyl Ether, and Xylene as a fuel system "revitalizer." Good call by Yeehaw on this one. By content mostly ether carried by alcohol and xylene--no thanks.

There are some products in marine applications that claim to revitalize, clean and stabilize gas through the use of enzymes, not solvents. But that is not what this is.
