Prime example. My 2005 Honda TRX250 4 wheeler. About 3 months ago took the tank, carb and fuel lines and cleaned them all thoroughly. Went to the local Shell to fill my 5 gallon can and added the proper amount of Sta-Bil to it so whatever I poured it into should be safe to sit right?
Wrong, ran the the Honda a few times then it sat for a month or so. Went to fire it up and couldn't get any fuel into the carb. The float was so seized in place that compressed air wouldn't even budge it. There was also what looked like little balls of wax in the bottom of the bowl.
Is there an additive known to combat the problems from the ethanol? Wonder if there are any stations in Lakeland selling 100% gas.
