Hi John, when I needed an enzyme based stabilizer last year the diesel additive was all I could find and it works so well for me I figure why change.
I got the stuff here at Englund Marine and the guy there said the commercial fishermen were all using the stuff in diesel and gasoline and were quite happy with the end results so I tried it and have been quite happy with the results too. At one oz per ten gallons it's a pretty lite treatment but as I said before since I started using it I have not had a lick of trouble with the motor.
I just went out in the back yard today and started the motor after at least six weeks of just sitting, it fired right up and also purred like a kitten for 45 minutes.
The only thing I could wish it would also do is act as a good fish attractant then it would be perfect.
Dave, one of the reasons I was told to use the Ring Free was that we salmon fishermen have a lot of low speed operating time due to trolling. The guy told me to not do the heavy duty shock treatment just add one oz per ten gallons of fuel as a maintenance thing.
He also advised that once inside the bay where it's calm to run the rpm's up about 5 grand and kind of blow things out and warm up the engine, we have about 6 or 7 miles to the ramp from the bay entrance so when I round the corner I kick her in the fanny and skitter up the bay in fine style grinning all the way.
The reasoning was that it would help blow out the carbon and also heat up the engine and drive the moisture out of the crankcase that possibly accumulated from the colder low speed operation. I can't argue with the end results.
