I've been getting my fuel from the same Shell gas station from the beginning. BUT - it's not a Shell product - it's a Propel brand that is in many stations across the region. I'm sure the fuel sits in the tanks a long time at the stations.

I am sure there are other additives that work, but I just stick with Lucas since I have never had any issues with anything I put it in over the last 10-15years.
I already ended up adding that Lucas E' treatment (and some Chevron fuel system treatment) to this tank, and will, at least, keep running the Lucas from here forward. I have a small bottle of fuel system biocide that should be here soon, too, that is, apparently, pretty good for marine applications. I figured you'd have good reason for using it, so I didn't bother waiting, lol.

I don't mind having to add these treatments. I like running E' and if this is helpful to keeping everything healthy - no biggie. Nothing's free.

Thanks for the comments, everyone.
