I have used this in all my vehicles. So, I knew that it was a quality product. Recently, my son had trouble with his lawn mower. He had let it set over the winter with gasoline in it; unfortunately, the gasoline contained ethanol. When he got ready to use it again this year, it would not start. We emptied the gas out of the tank. We replaced the fuel filter and all the fuel line hoses. The carburetor is complex, so we did not mess with that. We finally got it started, but it ran rough and it only ran at an idle speed, even though it was full throttle. We contacted our local small engine repair shop. We were told that this often happens if you let an engine sit for an extended period of time with ethanol fuel in it. We were told that the carburetor would have to be rebuilt and that would cost about $1,000. Instead, we decided to try the Lucas Fuel treatment. I checked the website, and it said that overtreatment would not harm your engine, so I put the whole 5.25 Oz bottle into 5 gallons of fuel. We put new fuel in the lawn mower and started it. After five minutes, it started running smoothly, but still at a reduced speed and it was smoking badly. After 10 minutes, it was running at normal speed and all of the smoke was gone. It would appear that this fixed the carburetor problem and saved me $1,000. I learned 2 lessons from this. First, never use gasoline that contains ethanol in a lawn mower. And, second, Lucas Fuel Treatment is an awesome product.
