I just had to mention that I've had great luck over 30years with,sled,snowblower, lawntractor,chain saw,weedeater etc.
And One of biggest reasons for good luck is everything seasonal I start occasionally in off season and let it warm up.
WALLA come time to use them they start and run good.
So sequal to story is like anything you get back what you give!!!!!!!!
*oh I do whisper to the RX when no one is around.

I do the exact same thing, just make sure to run it long enough to burn all condensation from warm up. I'am sure there's better things now to deal with ethanol! All I can say is everything that I use 87 (10% ethanol) in is injected and I have had 0 problems. We have a lot of problems with our small engines especially since plastic tankes, and that's with 91 non ethanol! IMO all fuels are not the quality they once were?I just had to mention that I've had great luck over 30years with,sled,snowblower, lawntractor,chain saw,weedeater etc.

I am local to the Syr area. Let me know where I can locally. I know the big box stores carry it but would rather support a local store.I sell it where I work, Im the one recording in the video, that would be my boss speaking.. we sell everything from 2oz bottles to 55gal drums and everything in between. I'm not a vendor on here so I cant sell you the product per site rules, I just dont like to see people buy something that does not work and actually causes problems.. I found a place withing 10mi of Standish, MI that sells it..Im sure they have the normal 4,8, and 24oz bottles. Give them a call..

when you start your sled, you are burning straight ethanol/water/seafoam, hence the sour smell..look at it like this, seafoam has been around for ever correct?? now all of a sudden it treats ethanol problems too. It never said that on older cans...They are just trying to jump on the band wagon. It does nothing to prevent phase separation, it actually speeds it up..Thats why the bottles are all cloudy in the video, the fuel, seafoam, ethanol, and water molecules are all fighting against each other, the do not want to bond..The 100% fully synthetic B3C MIB bonds all the unhappy molecules together to burn evenly rather than the glob of #*$&@ at the bottom of your tank..
here is a short video of the burn test, lots of black smoke out of the other two, none out of the b3c
What sour smell? What black smoke? I have taken a gas can full of ethonal fuel and left it over the summer in my garage with the small vent open. I then took it and poured it into a gallon glass jar and left it. No water separation in the bottom of the glass jar.
I've only seen seafoam in the last 10 years around here, I've used it as a gas treatment, not a water absorber. For water problems I've always used isopropyl alcohol.

Kimbers on Geddes Street in the city, I'm in and out of the building, but ask for Tony, I might be around..I'll show you some of the tests in person..they are pretty funny to watch..

That's great, keep it up, I don't care what you use or do.. alcohol is great for a motor that wasn't designed to burn it.. Love that knocking you get from it..SMH..

There are quite a few people that swear by a 500:1 mix of TC-W3 two stroke oil in gas as a solution to ethanol problems. Apparently it has some fuel stabilizer effects and helps lube fuel pumps, etc.

You used mech in bottle, is their product called ethanol shield the same thing, that's all Nagy's tractor had?Seafoam is a great cleaner, very strong. But it's very corrosive to rubber material, dries out o-rings and fuel rubber fuel lines. It's such a good cleaner it removes the natural and added oils to these rubber parts when in contact with them over time. Also seafoam does NOTHING for ethanol in fuel and does NOTHING to prevent phase separation.. Here is a video with Seafoam, Startron, and B3C Mechanic in a Bottle. It's a bit long, but the proof is in the video..Seafoam and Startron suck..

Shield helps with ethanol treatment if you run ethanol , mechanic in a bottle does too but also really cleans old fuel and carbs and everything to make run better or just run .

Well I don't see why they are selling both.Shield helps with ethanol treatment if you run ethanol , mechanic in a bottle does too but also really cleans old fuel and carbs and everything to make run better or just run .
1. Is just for ethanol
2. Is for enathonal and claims to do everything else imaginable, except sex.
I ordered a bottle of MIB (24OZ) $34.00 Delivered and will try same test as video myself with straight gas w/ethanol.
Will say Iam a little sceptic as they make a awful lot of promises on the side of a small expensive bottle, seems a little snakey sounding or like me on 4 drinks.
1. Treats ethanol
2. Lubes seals, orings
3. Boost octane
4. Cleans varnish
5. Stabilizes fuel
Wow I sure ain't no rocket scientist but how can any liquid do such opposite things. I'll test and try it. Hope my sled ain't TOOOO FAST now.

Knocking? What? Look I know you like your MIB but you do stretch it a bit. In fact the way you stretch it and promote it and are a seller of the product even though you say you cant sell it on here kinda makes me chuckle. Just become an advertiser already! LOL!
Still can't buy the stuff in Canada!

ethanol shield is for short term storage, a bit over a year, and prevents ethanol problems, MIB is a cleaner and used for long term storage like up to 4years,, Ethanol shield has no cleaning properties..Tell Nagy's to stock the MIB and you and your buddies will buy it..You used mech in bottle, is their product called ethanol shield the same thing, that's all Nagy's tractor had?
