@06R270 - I think this is what my marina puts in and I add the Startron.

So what is the difference between Stabil and Startron?

I don't think there's any difference. I use Stabil in florida (on my car that sits for long periods while we are away). I use Startron on my boat, only because that's what my marina gas pump sells. I don't think I'd have a problem putting Stabil in my boat's gas tank. Maybe others have more specific experience?

I am the same, I put Stabil in my car that sits for long periods of time.  I guess because that is what the auto shop sold.  

Everyone is a wealth of knowledge that is absolutely priceless.  Thank you.

The Stabil is "supposed" to have lubricants in it and the Startron is "supposed" to be more of an gasoline anti-water combo stabilizer. BTW - DON'T just add them and leave them there.....add them then RUN your engine(s) AND generator until at operating temperature to run the products through the entire fuel system. BTW I added them before we did my oil change and got two birds with one stone - ran the Sta-Bil and Startron through, heated-up the engines then pulled the oil and filters and put new filters (Mercury not "Spam") and synthetic oil.

I think I will do both just because it makes me feel good. Thanks guys.
