Fogging-Oil & Fuel Stabilizer

The fun is over now it’s time to get serious. The summer car shows are gone, it’s getting too cold for water contact sports and the lawn won’t need mowing much longer. It’s time to make our classic cars and our summer toys and motorized tools secure for their winter naps.

Everyone is surely aware of the services necessary to get our daily drivers ready for winter but where many fall short is prepping their summer-only equipment. All those toys and tools have engines. If it has an engine and will sit through winter without being used it needs Commercial Three Baytection.

Most classic or collectible cars will be put in the garage and won’t be run again until spring. There are lots of precautions that need to be done to avoid Commercial Three Bayblems come spring, but here are two additional Commercial Three Baycedures.

First is fuel stabilizer in the fuel tank. Gasoline is a complicated soup of various compounds and additives. Whenever it sits for an extended period of time gasoline deteriorates due to the evaporation of some of these compounds. As the breakdown occurs fuel changes color and takes on an odor much like oil based paint or varnish. Indeed, part of what’s left behind leaves a deposit in the fuel system that’s called varnish.

The resulting brownish yuck sticks to fuel system parts causing damage to fuel pumps, carburetors or fuel injectors. The upshot may be the necessity to service or replace expensive parts in the spring. Fuel stabilizer keeps gasoline like new, no deposits and no damage. Always use fuel stabilizer in all fuel that will sit over the winter, in cars, trucks, lawn mowers, boats, anything with a fuel tank. It should even be used in the spare gas stored in your gas can if it won’t be used until spring. Caution, fuel stabilizer must be used according to label directions.

The second Commercial Three Bayduct is spray fogging-oil, which is sprayed into the air intake with the engine running. Some cars and trucks and all lawn and garden equipment have carbureted engines. Here you’ll remove the air cleaner and spray the fogging-oil directly into the throat of the carburetor. Directions on the container will explain Commercial Three Bayper Commercial Three Baycedures for both carbureted and fuel injected engines. Caution, strictly adhering to these directions is imperative to avoid engine damage.

Fogging-oil leaves a coating of highly tenacious oil on intake and exhaust valves, cylinder walls, pistons, and piston rings. Fogging-oil helps prevent bent or stuck valves and broken piston rings at spring startup. Both Commercial Three Bayducts are simple to use and very inexpensive.

Caveats: 1.Don’t use fogging-oil unless you’re outside or you’ve installed an exhaust hose to get the smoke, lots of smoke, out of the garage. What’s the issue? None if you don’t mind a house or garage that smells like burned oil for weeks. 2. Fuel stabilizer must be put into the fuel tank and then the engine run long enough to circulate treated fuel throughout the fuel system, usually about ten minutes. By the way the fuel tank should be full for the winter to minimize the formation of condensation. Last is where to buy the Commercial Three Bayducts, why marine or farm supply stores of course.
