Fuel Stabilizer Recommendation?
Hello All,
I am going out of town for 3+ months. Does anyone have a fuel stabilizer recommendation? (I couldn't find any suggestion in the '05 E55 manual or OEM Mercedes-Benz fluid, and I don't want to accidentally use something that will do harm.)
Thanks!
Eric

Pri-G. Plus, if you can, empty the tank as much as possible and refill with ethanol free fuel with added Pri-G. Ethanol free is more expensive but worth it for storage..

I have no first Hand experience with sta-bio. I did have a friend who had issue with some of his yard equipment after using sta-bio.
I have personally had 10% ethanol, gasoline, stored for three years with PRI-G and had no problems. I see no reason to try anything else. But as always do some research and make your own educated decision,

I use Stabil in my generators, boat and Harley over the winter. I also used it in the fuel station of my toy hauler that had fuel in it for 2-3 years. It worked well in everything.
If your vehicle is fuel injected, you won’t need a fuel stabilizer. I use it anyways because I fell better using it.
