A fuel stabilizer is a chemical additive that is added to gasoline or diesel fuel to prevent its degradation over time. Fuel degradation can occur due to factors such as oxidation, evaporation, and the formation of gums and varnishes. Fuel stabilizers work by inhibiting these processes, thereby extending the shelf life of the fuel and maintaining its quality.
Fuel stabilizers are particularly important for fuels that are stored for long periods of time, such as in boats, RVs, and lawnmowers. They can also be beneficial for fuels that are used in engines that are operated infrequently, such as classic cars or collector vehicles.
