I've personally seen Stabil destroy the fuel system in a Chrysler 300C Hemi when I was at the local vocational college about 10 yrs ago. The entire fuel system had to be scrapped because of it. In fact, they had to scrap the car because it wasn't financially feasible to replace it all because it was given to the school by Chrysler. It had only been a year since they put it in and the entire system was junk.

Yeah, exactly.
Opened one up twice to siphon out some fuel, turned the pump & tank to garbage in 8 months.

Well I've used stabil but mostly sefoam for years, just had a car sit for almost 3yrs with seafoam and it was fine. I know w/o it I'd of been pumping the gas out.

I know as much as I can learn and try to keep an open mind to anything!

If I didn't overthink stuff I wouldn't be on speedtalk!
