Penrite Petrol Fuel Stabiliser 250ml $16.79 + Delivery (Free C&C) @ Supercheap Auto

80

Good price for a stabiliser to keep 200L worth of fuel fresh for a year, use it with all those cheap Scepter jerry cans you picked up

The main alternative STA-BIL is now crazily overpriced, costing more and treating less

  • is this useful?

    • Yep. I use it in the pressure washer, since a single tank can last 6 months+

      Yes, if you use small petrol powered garden tools.
      Old fuel can gum up the carburettor making them difficult to start. This stuff solves that problem.

      Yes if you need to stabilise petrol

      works great, i use it in my tesla monthly

  • I discovered STA-BIL after my mower and edger started acting up. Game changer for weekend warriors who buy fuel in small quantities and store for too long. Thanks OP.

  • This, stabil, or Fuel Dr?

    • Let the wallet decide.

    • Fuel Dr

    The vast majority of probs that home users have with their small engine gear is on the fuel side and a huge part of it is leaving old fuel in for long period and then having rough or no starting.

    Well worth having for most folks, especially over winter break.

      Winter break…Are we living in North America?? Better disconnect the batteries and clean the salt from the wheelwells then too :P

      If petrol prices are staying up, a better idea would be to sell all ICE and buy an electric vehicle or catch Public Transport.

        Err… you don't really need garden tools in winter, because lawns and plants stop growing in every part of the world.
        So it's not uncommon to go 4 months without using garden tools.

        • where do you live where plants stop growing in winter… Antarctica, Alaska!
          my grass still grows in winter and I have to still mow it!
          Sydney is not a snow/frozen zone

    • Turn the mower off by turning the fuel line switch off and let it stall. This dries out the carburetor and stops a bunch of issues.

        Most mowers don't have those

      • Yep; I take out the bowl drain screw and blast with wd40 for storage.
        Works wonders.

        First start with WD in the bowl is a pain, but once its going, its stopped the carb/needle growing muck.
