I get my fuel at a Valvetect gas dock. Not because I looked for it but it happened to be the closest gas to the inlet. They add all that shi to the gas for you. And their price is a few cents less than other gas docks in the inlet.
It is E10 gas. I don't think there are ANY non-ethanol gas docks in NJ.
I have water separators with the clear bowl. I have never had water in them.
I did not add Startron or a ring cleaner at all this past season. I had no problems. I burned well over 1000 gallons.(hmm..I have to look back at that..probably closer to 2000 but the new zukes do get great mileage.)
I did put in Stabil for the winter...I'm not crazy....

I am not an advocate of the Yamalube Koolaid. Its one thing to "recommend" your branded products (they don't make it they just put their name on it) but to gouge your customers with the ridiculous price is just a turn off.

I use fuel ox additive. The navy uses it so it's good enough for me.

I use it every other tank fill. Liquid gold for Yamaha... I don't think it does much for you on the 4S engines, but I use it.
