What fuel treatment additive do you all recommend? This being my first Mustang and I'm probably parking her for the season in a couple of weeks and I was going to use a Sta-Bil product and I'm looking for some insight on which product to use? Thanks from a newbie :wink:

Couple of weeks? Nothing.
Lol let me rephrase my question what Sta-Bil product would be recommended to be added to the fuel when I fuel up before I park my vehicle for the winter :cwl:

The one that says "storage" on it. What ones were you considering?

There have been a couple winter storage threads lately, check a couple of them out

I was leaning to Sta-Bil Storage also and was looking for insight from forum members on what they have used.

I use Stabil Marine. It protects the aluminum lines from corrosion.

Why park it for the winter? I live in Florida, am from Chicago. Love to drive up there in the winter and tool around in the snow. it's awesome, and I'm 78 years old. Enjoy it while you can. It's only a car. If you're worried about salt and slush damage, just find a good car wash and run it through when needed. If driving conditions concern you, ya just gotta' pay attention!! Enjoy.....

If my Mustang was my daily driver I would drive it through the winter but winters here in Western Pennsylvania are unpredictable.

My EcoBoost is my daily driver so I'll be using it all year round, unless Texas closes down for a day or two (and it does when it's cold - snow days!)...

...however I don't think I'm personally the biggest risk. No, it's the numpty not paying any attention in his or her SUV or pickup not giving any allowance for slippery conditions running into me. I can mitigate some of this (extra space between me and the vehicle in front at stop signs or lights, trying not to opposite-lock around roundabouts grinning like a naughty schoolboy) but it seems where there's a lack of comprehension, there's a way...

For the winter just a full tank topped off, only need the sta-bil if gonna be sitting for years. Full tank of premium should be fine for winter storage, especially if indoors. I’d watch more for critters chewing wiring before worrying about stale fuel causing an issue during storage.

I would fill it up with NO E gas. Since it has no ethynol, theres nothing in it to absorb moisture. I use it in mowers and stuff that sits regularly (after a few bad events fron not using it)
