Hi all,
I'm new to this forum. Porsche recommends not adding any fuel additives in the owner's manual. MNBoxster did you find Sta-Bil helped at all?
Anyways, I'm trying to find articles in different forums on how to properly store my Boxster S for the winter months and everyone has different ways of doing it. I'm just trying to figure out what's the best way. All suggestions and ideas are greatly appreciated.

It is a parafinic compound and after this period, this is one of the things which causes issues - the buildup of varnish on the fuel components.
In the spring, I will also usually add an injector cleaner (especially for an FI car). I personally like Lubro-Moly's Jectron - http://www.********************************************/acatalog/Lubro_Moly_Jectron_Fuel_Injection_Cleaner.html
I use it at half the recommended strength just to clear out any varnish which may have built up, especially on the injector nozzles. Hope this helps...
