PRODUCT ROUNDUP EQUIPMENT FOCUS www.outdoorpowerequipment.com OUTDOOR POWER EQUIPMENT JUNE 2015 29 BRIGGS & STRATTON ADVANCED FORMULA FUEL TREATMENT & STABILIZER Briggs & Stratton Advanced Formula Fuel Treatment & Stabilizer is a super-concentrated, 5-in-1 formula developed by small-engine experts to protect against the harmful effects of ethanol-blended fuel in small engines. Unlike other fuel treatment and stabilizer products, the formula contains no alcohol, which can compound the damaging effects associated with ethanol due to moisture. Up to 3 years of fuel stabilization with the help of triple anti-oxidant metal part protection Hard-working detergent cleans the fuel sys- tem to prevent carburetor gumming and varnish. Metal de-activators and corrosion inhibi- tors guard against rust and degradation Briggs & Stratton Advanced Formula Fuel Treatment & Stabilizer prevents ethanol problems in all 2-cycle and 4-cycle gasoline engines, and it is an ideal product for easy en- gine starting and long-duration outdoor power equipment storage. Briggs & Stratton Corp. BRIGGS & STRATTON ADVANCED FORMULA ETHANOL-FREE FUEL Briggs & Stratton Advanced Formula Ethanol- free Fuel is a line of premium stabilizer and fuel blends specifically designed to make op- eration of 2-cycle and 4-cycle gasoline engines smoother, while maintaining performance and reliability. It also contains a fuel-stabilizing ingredient to maximize fuel storage life and prevent carburetor gumming, varnish, and cor- rosion. Ethanol-free fuel is application-ready, which means no mixing and no mess. It is available in 3 blends, including: 4-cycle fuel for outdoor power equipment such as lawn mowers and chipper/shredder. A combination of ethanol-free fuel and stabilizer. 40:1 and 50:1 fuel for 2-cycle engines such as leaf blowers and string trimmers. A combination of ethanol-free fuel, synthetic oil and stabilizer. Briggs & Stratton Corp. GOLD EAGLE EXPANDS STA-BIL 360° PERFORMANCE TECHNOLOGY Gold Eagle Co., makers of the STA-BIL brand of fuel stabilizers and ethanol treatments, announced April 20 that the company is revolutionizing and expanding its successful STA-BIL 360° product line. The new STA-BIL lineup will incorpo- rate its unique 360° technology across many of its products for automotive, boating and small engines. The streamlined portfolio now offers the industry's latest technology featuring 5-in-1 engine performance-boosting benefits, while providing customers the same STA-BIL fuel stabilization and protection they have known and trusted for decades. The new STA-BIL 360° line is designed to support consumers seeking ultimate perfor- mance in the automotive, boating, powersports and small-engine categories. STA-BIL scientists developed these innovative products to help restore power, maximize fuel economy, prevent ethanol damage, clean the fuel system, and pro- vide a smooth idle. STA-BIL 360° Marine offers all of these benefits and provides better water removal for marine engines. The proprietary 360° technology also prevents corrosion above the fuel line by releasing a vapor that coats all metal parts of the fuel system, including the fuel tank, fuel sending unit, valves, carburetor and fuel injectors with a microscopically thin corrosion-preventing shield. STA-BIL 360° Performance Small Engine Formula is ideal for use in small engines, including lawn mowers, hedge trimmers, generators and more, and it comes in 4-ounce bottles. And like all STA-BIL brand products, the enhanced formulas stabilize fuel for up to 1 year. STA-BIL 360° products are safe and recommended for use in all types of gasoline and are recommended for use at every fill-up for year-round protection. Gold Eagle Co. STAR TRON ENZYME FUEL TREATMENT Star Tron Enzyme Fuel Treatment's unique formula is an ideal way to improve the performance of all gas-powered outdoor equipment — and all other gas engines. A proprietary blend of enzymes makes Star Tron a multifunctional, year-round fuel treat- ment. Engineered to stabilize fuel for up to 2 years, Star Tron is ideal for keeping even ethanol-blended fuel fresh in all gas-powered equipment that will be placed in seasonal storage, but it does much more than just stabilize fuel. Some of the enzymes help prevent the formation of gums that can clog carburetors or injectors while others allow more oxygen to attach to hydrocarbon fuel molecules, resulting in a more complete burn of the fuel charge. This translates into maximum power, crisper throttle response and improved fuel economy. Star Tron helps restore much of the power and fuel economy lost in ethanol-blended fuels because ethanol does not produce as much energy as gasoline. A more complete burn of the fuel charge also helps prevent carbon deposits and keeps engines running clean, with significantly reduced emissions. If debris is already in the fuel or the fuel delivery system, Star Tron's enzymes break it apart to disperse it throughout the fuel, so that it can be eliminated while the engine operates. Because alcohol attracts water, moisture is another ethanol issue. Star Tron's enzymes break apart clumps of wa- ter molecules into tiny submicron-sized droplets, so they can be dispersed throughout the fuel to be safely eliminated while the engine is running.
