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.
Package sizes include:
16-oz. Bottle

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. |
