I guess I have been one of the lucky ones, insomuch as I have never had fuel go "stale" in any of my lawn equipment. (or perhaps I am unlucky insomuch as I have to use said equip. far too often) I do, however, use Sta-bil in all my lawn equipt. fuel cans, so....
Years ago someone tried to sell me on Seafoam. I bought it and used it in 2 of my vehicles, a 99 jeep Cherokee, and a 96 Saturn sl2. both were suffering from what I believe to be poor gas mileage and performance.
Aside from smoking like all hell, and pissing off the neighbors, the seafoam had absolutely ZERO effect on either issue, in either car.
Now, I know the believers will tell me that I did something wrong, or didn't use enough product, blah, blah, blah.
Buy it if you believe, don't buy it if you don't. Simple.
Personally, I feel that good quality fuel, and good quality oil has all the detergents they need, and an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
Maintain your vehicle as you should, and the need for all these "snake oil" products go away.
