Gasoline Stabilizer (AST)
It is
difficult to drain all of the fuel from equipment before
storage, and doing so would expose the system to other problems,
including the formation of rust and corrosion on the bare metal
in the tank and fuel system and the drying and cracking of
gaskets and seals. Some fuels are pre-treated with oxidation
inhibitors that allow them to be stored for short periods
without forming excessive deposits, while other fuels have no
inhibitors at all.
AMSOIL
Gasoline Stabilizer (AST) reduces the oxidation process that
occurs when fuel is stored for extended periods, improving
performance, extending equipment life and decreasing maintenance
expenses.
Two- and
four-stroke recreational vehicles, hand-held power equipment,
small engines, construction and farm equipment are commonly
operated seasonally or infrequently, then stored for long
periods of time. |
During these periods of inactivity, and as a result of fluctuations in
ambient temperatures, water vapor can form condensate within the engine.
When this condensate comes into direct contact with steel and iron
components, it forms surface corrosion on cylinder liners, piston rings,
anti-friction bearings and steel/iron contact surfaces on rotational
seals. Long periods of storage can also dry out cylinders, often
resulting in permanent damage when the equipment is taken out of storage
and dry started. In addition, fuel within stored equipment tends to
oxidize and form varnish and sludge deposits that clog injectors, fuel
lines and carburetors, stick floats and cause poor engine performance,
starting problems, increased maintenance expenses and decreased
equipment life.
1-oz. of AMSOIL Gasoline Stabilizer treats 2.5 gallons of fuel.
