Fuel Stabilizer

The owners manual does not recommend any fuel additives. Any thoughts or recommendations for fuel stabilizer and winter storage? Also, any idea of the tank size in gallons for my 9186?


Thank You,

23 US gals.

I run mine as close to empty as possible, drain into a clean container, strain into a gas can for the mower and pressure washer.

That's all that is necessary for a "winter storage." Fuel doesn't go bad over the course of a season change. I don't use any fuel additives in any of my cars. Not that I'm against them. I just don't see the point of the expense. If storing for a long time or if I'm unsure when I will run a car again as I am getting into an extensive project on one, I will cut off power to the fuel pump, run the car until the rails and injectors are dry. Then I will replace the fuse/relay for the pump and drain the tank. And there aren't many tanks out there as easy to drain as the 928 thanks to its in-line fuel pump.

I like to drive my car whenever possible; last last drives before winter and first as spring just starts hence I add fuel stabilizer and keep the tank full.

for example I wont drive the car for a few days as its currently -10c but its supposed to warm to +10c by thurs and I want to go driving .

And that is the way it should be done.
