Quickare, Quickleen, QuickStor?

[Scott Randolph]

I understand Quickleen is a concentrated cleaner and should be used periodically.



But it sounds to me like Quickstor is just a higher concentration of Quickare.



If you use Quickare every time you put fuel in the tank and especially if you are running non-ethanol fuel, is there any reason to add QuickStor at the end of the season?



And if there is, can you just add it to fuel that already has Quickare in it?



Also is there a risk to winding up with too high a concentration of this stuff in the tank if you are never running the tank empty?

Merc must have re-named their products. I used quick Kleen but here you go:

Mercury Quickleen - Fuel System Cleaner

Mercury Quickstor - Fuel Stabilizer Mercury Quickstor - Fuel Stabilizer

Fuel Stabilizer

12 fl oz bottle

So do as they say and add the Quickcare to every tank and the Quickstor when you put it up for the winter (with a full tank). You can't overdose your motor unless you put gallons of the stuff in there. I would use all of the above and if you do use it during the winter just add the recommended amounts when you add fuel.

This topic has been discussed quite a bit. A master Merc. tech named Don Weed suggests a "cocktail" for EVERY tank of gas. This is what I do also.



1oz quickleen

1oz stabil

1-2 oz seafoam



for every 6 gallons of gas.



You cannot get an concentration if you never run empty as long as you are following correct ratios. I premix the coctail and then add the appropriate amount right at the gas pump every time I put gas in it.

Don and I have discussed this MANY times.....end result....+1. I do feel that Sea-Foam by itself does the job though....

Thanks for the replys guys. The coctail idea is pretty sound as I have run a mix of Sta-Bil and OMC cleaner in my older Evinrude. With the new motor I think there might be some validity to using only Merc products during the warranty period.
