um... all them crappy additives in the gas is WHAT CAUSES PROBLEMS!!! they sitfor a little bit, and the GAS evapurates, and leaves all that crap. i haveused that stabil, and ya, it works. sorta. the gasoline will still evapurate. and its even worse now with this ethenol in it. kind of nice when you live in the desert like i do. when i got a rig going to sit for long, i drain it ofALL fuel. tank, lines, carb, ect. we dont have much moisture here tocondensate and rust the tank. this ethenol in the fuel now also plays hell on old carb gaskets. i been lucky so far with the bbd 2bbl carb on my 440H. car sat since mid 84, and just got running a couple weeks ago. i popped the topoff, cleaned it out. when i popped the top off, i was able to salvage thegasket. put it back together, and it works great. i have a rebuild kit, but i am saving it till it NEEDS it. some reason, this carb is working great, not leaking or anything. the holley on casper on the other hand... had that carfor almost 10 years, and have such a hard time getting that bowl gasket to seal. always weeps. not enough to drip USUALLY, just gets wet around the bowl. dave stohler www.picasaweb.google.com/das24rules
