I recently bought a Craftsman 38886 from Sears, works great, no complaints from me so far. But it came with a proprietary fuel cap from Briggs & Stratton that dispenses fuel stablizer (called Fresh Start) into the gas for supposedly up to 6 months (I'm about 1 month into it and the cap is still fairly full).
Since my mower came with it, I was going to just stick with it during the winter storage period along with a full gas tank to prevent the moisture condensation you folks mention if I leave it empty for the winter.
Question: Anybody have any longer-term experience with the Fresh Start stabilizer vs. Sta-bil?
Any opinions on whether or not I should stick with that stuff or switch to Sta-bil BEFORE next season and before the stuff runs out?
Also, if next season, when the Fresh Start has run out, can I then add Sta-bil instead, or does mixing fuel stabilizers cause potential problems?
