IT WORKS GREAT ON ANY FUEL USED MOTORS.
from Trumbull, CT on 7/17/2009
I have a 1993 buick Lesabre. All of a sudden I was getting power loss when stepping on the gas, and a little bucking, fuel filter was changed, fuel pressure was checked and found within range. Put star Tron in the gas as recommended, and the problem cleared itself up. I wouldn't have believed if I had not used it myself. Every once in a while I get the same problem, and put Star Tron back in the gas, and back to peak performance. I would highly recommend this product.

Poured this in my boat that had phase separated fuel in it. It claims to "remove water" but all I saw was the same two layers that were there before. Poured some more in to see if it needed a higher dosage and ran the boat - it didn't even start. Thank you Startron for making a snake oil that claims to be the best ethanol gas treatment available but proves nothing!
i use this product in all my small engines
and it does a very good job keeps the engines running smooth

My four stroke outboard has never run this smooth and the fuel tank and system have remained trouble free over 2 years. My friend in the slip next to me found out the hard way about the new lousy fuel problems, now he is a believer too!

This stuff works great I use it in my motorcycle I bought a used 99 honda vt1100 shadow and guy that had it let it sit for 2 years with the ethnol gas in it and it ran rought and wouldn't idle. I didn't feel like pulling the carbs so a motorcycle shop told me to try this. I drained the tank filled it and added this stuff and in 3 days the bike ran like new. I had a buddy this weekend I road with had a missing problem and we added some of the star tron to his tank and by days end the bike was running great. it's great stuff.
When I layed up my boat last season I applied Star/Tron to my fuel tanks. This year I had to empty one of my 100 gal. tanks and I was amazed how clear and fresh the gasoline appeared. After refueling with the same fuel both engines started and ran smooth.

I own a twin Engine Yamaha jet boat, Filled the gas tank the other day and the motors started running really rough. Thought it was bad gas...OH NO!!! Real tuff to drain a boat's gas tank!!! It was stalling and not running at idle, it would just quit.!! Went to the local boat mechanic and he said try a bottle of Star Tron in the tank. 3 days into running, no more stalling, no more rough starts, and Best Yet, the engines haven't sounded this good since I bought the boat new. (3 years old)I'm then put some in the kids 4 wheelers and the oldest machine starts on the first pull. It's never done that before...So I'm soldIf you are having issues with Marine engines and Ethanol gas...Give StarTron a try before you pull the carb and spend a ton of $$$ taking the carb apart. I'd give this stuff a try, for [$] a bottle it'll be worth the effort, but try to find a store that carries it !!! Order on line....
It says what it does and does what it says.
My old flathead six never ran better.

If you buy this for the stated purpose, you'll come back for more -- I did.
I own a Chriscraft (1963, T327 ) inboard that hadn't had much use for a couple years, and I needed to run it 80 miles to it's home dockage. After several failed attempts due to motor problems, and after all the usual things were checked and adjusted or cleaned, I added Startron. After the 80 mile run, it ran great and still does.
I did have to readjust the carbs after the trip to lower RPMs, probably due to cleaner jets, but that's about it. Now I'm down to the one 8 oz bottle for every 250 gallons of fuel, just to maintain the system, instead of the the initial 8 oz per 120 gallons, and I convinced my local marian to start carrying Startron.

This is a great stuff, I will buy more. I currently use it in my boat and diesel pickup. I have notice and increase in mileage and smooth operation of both boat and truck.
Last spring I had the carbs on my 2002 merc 40hp 4 stroke re-built due to hesitation and overall poor running. I got it back and it ran ok, just ok for most of the season. last fall I bought some Star-tron and put it in the gas. It seemed to run much smoother no more hesitation. I stored it last winter with startron in the gas. This spring it started right up and runs perfect. I really think the startron is great. I put it in my 4.3 mercruiser (carburated) and the motor has never run better! I'm definately a believer!!

I usually complain more than compliment, but in this case I have to take my hat off and bow to this stuff and write a review.
I have been using Star Tron for about 6 months in my boat (1999 Yamaha 200 outboard 2 stroke.) Right away I noticed that it was easier to start, especially when I let it sit for a few months during winter. It also runs smoother. Very noticeable and will keep using it in boat. (I used to have to Starting Fluid and change the plugs if it sat for too long, bad I know :( but now it just starts quick every time like it was warmed up.)
But the big visible difference is when I put it in my friends F150 pickup. It was running poor with hesitation and sluggish. I thought it was going to stall in the middle of an intersection. It always died on hard acceleration. I put in ONE treatment of Star Tron. Half a tank of gas later ALL THE PROBLEMS WERE GONE! Not just less, but GONE! We were both shocked actually. I thought it might help a little, but it went way past helping.most of my friends carry a bottle in our trucks.
ALSO, I use it in my lawn mower, weed eater and chainsaw. They run smoother and always start after sitting.
The first fuel additive that really does something noticeable.

It's hard to review something that prevents bad things from happening but I've been using this for a couple of years on my Johnson outboards (2 and 4 cycle) and have no water or storage problems
