Winterizing the fuel system mistake
Hi guys not that I would ever do this, ;-). What would happen if I added say 3 or 4 oz of Stabil too much. Again my TACP math broke in.
I have a 55 gallon tank and I added 26 oz instead of 22 and a half. I think I may be overthinking it but I'm OCD that way. The tank is topped off with ethanol free fuel right now and I drop off the coach on Wednesday morning.

What he said. I would always put an extra half of the measure in my boats.

I put in five cans at a time of Seafoam to my 75 gallon fuel tank once a year. Never had any problem caused by too much.
I think you'll be fine.

I use what Cummins recommends, for summer it says 1 can treats 250 gallons and for winter use 1 can per 125 gallons.

As long as you got the minimum in you'll be fine. A few ounces won't even be noticed.

What's winter gas?I just spent filled up 52 gals of ethanol free. And at 3.59 a gallon that's about all I'm gonna do before adding the Stabil.

You will be fine John. I just hope you remembered the winter air for the tires.
