Hey Wrench

What do you know about the product Ring Free?

I heard some good stuff. It didn't know if it was all hype

I'm not a fan of any type of additive. I feel like I have been into enough powerheads to confidently say that no additive or engine treatment on the market will remove....or even soften hard carbon deposits.

The marketing is certainly working though, because every boat that gets brought to me has a veritable witches brew of s#!t in the tank (70% fuel + 30% seafoam/stabil/2+4/carbon guard/ ect. ect.) to the point that I use a portable tank of just straight fresh fuel to do my running tests, idle mixture and sync settings......then once everything is as it should be I plug their "soup" back in and hope for the best.

And as for "stabilizing additives" ability to keep things from gumming up during extended storage....I have a heavily "stabilized" 2005 Optimax in the shop right now that just woke up from a nap and beg$ to differ.

But all that aside, WTH, I hear it's on sale for 16.00 a bottle now.

Thanks, Since I use my jet all winter long, I don't feel the need to put anything in my tank.

Right. It's odd cuz guys will spend a couple hundred a year putting additives in their fuel, but will try to get 3-4 years out of a battery and toast a 200.00+ regulator everytime.

Not that I'm complaining
