Hi,

Adding Sta-Bil is a good idea. Gasoline is a very unstable subtance and it breaks down rather quickly. Used to be within 30 days, but today's better refined gas (especially from the Name Brands) will actually go 60 days before starting to breakdown. 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...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
