I wonder if his comments are aimed more at the stuff that Channel Marine sells vs adding Starton to a tank already treated with Stabill?

My mechanic advised me against using the ValveTech (whatever it's called) that Channel and one or two other places sell because you can not be sure what the percentage of ethanol gasoline to treatment is. He says some national tests have shown plenty of ValveTech in the mixture while others show not enough because it's apparently mixed on sight.
(He also told me that he had a number of boats in the shop with ethanol issues that had used just the ValveTech product)

When I was putting my boat down here to bed I told the marina I had added StaBill for ethanol into the mix and he still told me to mix in Startron!
