Fuel stabiliser advice?

[G-996]

Like many folks here I’m likely not going to drive my 911 much over the next few months, a 996.2 Carrera 4. From reading a few articles online, it seems modern petrol can “go-off” after a couple of months and gummy deposits can form in the tank, with potential to block fuel lines, pump, injectors etc. Apparently the answer is to use a fuel stabiliser. I’d appreciate any advice from anyone who’s used this type of product for their 911 before, and any recommended brands/suppliers

We use it every year when we lay our boats up for the winter. That is for a layoff of 5 months or so and for tanks which hold hundreds of litres, so a treatment poured in the tank gives peace of mind.

For smaller tanks we would just fill them to the brim and this works fine. If you have a petrol lawnmower or strimmer you would probably do this, rather than add stabiliser and usually they survive the winter lay-up with no problem. It's exposure to air that you're trying to avoid.

I've never used it in a car - but then I've never laid a car up.

IF you use premium fuels there's no real need IMHO. Brim it with superplus (Shell etc) and you'll be right. I've had modern fuel in cars for over a year without starting and never had an issue.
