With the warm weather drawing near, it is time to pull the beloved boat out of winter storage and head out on the water. To ensure peak performance of your boat this upcoming summer, you should stabilize the fuel so it can achieve full enjoyment all season long. Petzold’s Marine Center in Portland, CT, wants to help you have a full season of boating fun. Here, they share the importance of Star Tron® Enzyme Fuel Treatment in the care of your pre-owned boat.

Prevents Fuel Degradation

The quality of ethanol-blended gas begins to degrade within 30 to 45 days of blending. When this happens, the gas forms clumps that may clog the carburetor, fuel injectors, and combustion chambers, making it difficult to start the boat. You will typically experience this problem after pulling your pre-owned boat out of winter storage. Any fuel left in the tank over the winter will likely be jellied or clumped.

Star Tron Enzyme Fuel Treatment prevents clumps and can stabilize fuel for up to two years. Not only does it stabilize the fuel, but Star Tron improves fuel quality because it maintains the original chemistry of the liquid.

Eliminates Excess Water

While most can hold a certain level of water, excess amounts of H2O will form a layer of moisture and carbon deposits underneath the fuel in the tank and significantly degrade fuel efficiency. Star Tron enzymes target excess clusters of water and break them apart so they can be dispersed throughout the fuel and safely eliminated during combustion.

Using Star Tron Fuel Enzyme Treatment can help stabilize the fuel in your pre-owned boat, ensuring smooth rides and efficient performance.
