Some of you may know that I'm just getting back into sledding. I was told recently that you shouldn't put any dry gas in your sleds gas. I used to use a splash every now and then in my older sleds. Is this something new, or should I have never been using the stuff. I haven't put any in my new to me sled yet. Thought I would check with you guys first.

I use SeaFoam. It is a fuel stabilizer, dry gas, carb cleaner and other things. I have been using this stuff for years and we use it at work in all of our equipment. You can purchase it at any NAPA store, that where we get it.
