Fuel Stabilizer - 1 Gallon
AMERICA’S #1 FUEL STABILIZER TREATMENT
STA-BIL Storage Fuel Stabilizer keeps fuel fresh for quick easy starts after storage. It removes water to prevent corrosion and cleanses carburetors and fuel injectors. This product also protects the engine from gum, varnish, rust, and corrosion and prolongs the life of any engine. Eliminate the need to drain the fuel of your 2 or 4 cycle engine by treating the fuel with STA-BIL before storing.
USAGE DIRECTIONS:
Use STA-BIL Fuel Stabilizer in any gasoline-powered vehicle or equipment you plan to store for 30-days or longekeeps the fuel fresh for up to 24 months during storage, eliminating the need to drain your tank. Works effectively in all gasoline blends, including Ethanol-blended fuel, up to E-85. 1-ounce (30-milliliter) treats up to 2½ gallons (9.5-liters) of fuel. Use STA-BIL only with fresh fuel, and keep the gas can or tank 95% full to avoid condensation build up in the tank during storage. Run Engine for 5 minutes after adding product to treat entire fuel system. Product does not contain alcohol. Perfect for collector cars, generators, lawn mowers, snow blowers, etc.
PERFECT FOR STORING:
LAWNMOWERS: Fuel can deteriorate in as little as 60 days, causing gum and varnish to build up in your lawnmower engine. That means difficulty starting the engine, poor performance and reduced engine life. The simplest, easiest fix is using a fuel stabilizer to prevent fuel deterioration during storage.
BOATS: Drain the lower unit of old gear oil and replace with a fresh supply. When changing the gear oil, be sure to check for moisture. If water comes out first, or if you see milky or lumpy oil, this is an indication your boat is experiencing moisture contamination and will need new seals before next season.
AUTOMOBILES: Fill the tank 95% full with new fuel and add STA-BIL Storage to keep it fresh for up to 24 months.
MOTORCYCLES: When putting your bike away for the season, it’s important to find winter storage that is dry and protected from environmental elements. Avoid storing it near windows to prevent the paint from fading with constant contact with light.

As the Fall months creep into our calendars, boat owners in cooler climates acknowledge, with sadness, that it’s time to put the boat away.
Outside Storage?
It’s a thought and an option but consider that you may be threatened by snow build up, tornadoes or hurricanes. The success of storing your boat outside depends on how well your boat is protected from the conditions outdoors.
Rinse/Flush
Rinsing the outside of your boat and trailer thoroughly with fresh water will remove excess salt. Pay particular attention to your trailer’s leaf springs, wheel hubs and brakes that are constantly submerged during launching and retrieval of your boat.
Flush your engine's cooling system with fresh water in line with your engine manufacturer’s salt removal recommendations. This will minimize corrosion and overheating issues come spring.
Drain your boat of all water – bilge, head, sink lines, water tanks, sea-cocks, and pipes. If you are in an area with extended periods of freezing, put antifreeze in the low parts if there is still some water present.
Salt
Watch out for salt. Buy a good salt remover to minimize corrosion.
Add fuel stabilizer to top off your fuel tanks. Here is one recommended by CLR Marine.
Diesel Formula Fuel Stabilizer & Performance Improver - 32oz *Case of 4*
STA-BIL Diesel Formula Fuel Stabilizer is a diesel additive that keeps fuel fresh for quick, easy starts and maximized for engine performance. Designed for use with all diesel engines, and all diesel fuels, Sta-Bil Fuel Stabilizer Diesel formula prevents sludge and sediment formation, cleans and lubricates fuel injectors to improve performance and helps remove water. It is safe to use and recommended for use at every fill up, with the 32 ounce bottle treating up to 320 gallons of fuel.
Batteries
Remove the batteries from your boat and store in your garage or basement.
Batteries should be connected to a battery charger that will give them a good charge and one that w automatically switches to a float/trickle charge to keep your batteries topped up. Match your charger to the type of battery you are charging. Using a charger manufactured for lead acid batteries to charge an AGM (absorbent glass mat) battery will cause damage to the battery.
If you choose to keep your batteries in the boat, connect a solar trickle charger. These chargers will keep your batteries topped off without the hassle of removing heavy batteries from your boat.
Cleaning
Clean the exterior with the proper fiber glass or wood cleaner needed for your boat. Bright work can be cleaned by removing the wood or cleaning it as it is - installed. Be careful to not get the wood cleaner onto the deck surfaces. The exterior should be dried with a chamois cloth. Vinyl seat cushions and backs should be cleaned with vinyl cleaner. Hard surfaces inside the vessel can be wiped with all purpose cleaners. End your cleaning with a coat of wax to the exterior and polish. Don’t forget the bottom paint.
Before you store, spend the time to give your boat a thorough cleaning. CLR Marine has many products by trusted brands such as Powerhouse, Davis Instruments, Jabsco, Shurhold, and Swobbit, to help winterize and clean. You will be grateful in the spring during launch time that your boat is already clean as the new boating season begins.
Cover Up
If you store outside in your yard, driveway, or a boat yard, a boat cover is a must to prevent damage from winter conditions. Leaving your boat in the water is not recommended. The boat is exposed to rough weather, and has a greater possibility of sinking if you aren’t monitoring it often.

and
https://www.clrmarine.com/462m4/winterizing.html
Circle May 21, 2022, on your calendar. The date is almost ten days before Memorial Day, next year when most harbors open for the season. Start your prep work, tune-ups, sanding, and painting to get out on the water and a great boating season. In the meantime, during the cold winter months, cozy up to the fire and read your boating manuals, new safety regulations and weather information.
Fair winds and smooth sailing.

Walbro FRA-1-1 Electric Fuel Pump
Voltage: 12V DC
Weight: 1.63 lb
Minimum Flow Rate: 20 gph
Dry Lift: 24"
Service Life: 5,000+ hr
Fuse: 5A
Current Draw: 2.0 Amps
Inlet/Outlet: 1/8-27 NPSF
Inlet Filter Screen: 70 Micron
Magnetic Trap: None
Outlet Check Valve: No
Maximum Output Pressure: 4.0 - 7.0 psi
The FRA Series electric fuel pump operates at a constant frequency — it will continue to cycle as long as electric power is supplied.
If there is no demand for fuel, the pump will build pressure in the fuel delivery line - up to its rated maximum pressure - and continue to cycle, but with no fuel output.
As such, it is not well-suited for continuous operation/low demand applications such as heater or stove systems, since it will constantly make noise, and have a shortened service life due to high cycling.
For stove/heater and continuous duty applications, use the Walbro FRD series of pumps, which addresses these issues. See Related Products, below.
An FRA pump can be used, however, to fill a gravity-feed day tank commonly used in diesel stove and heater installations.
FRA pumps incorporate a new piston mechanism which, unlike rubber diaphragms, is not affected by modern, high-tech fuel blends.
The FRA is designed to serve as a primary pump (replacing a mechanical fuel pump) or as an auxilliary fuel pump (assisting the existing pump) for internal combustion engines.
The pump self-regulates to its pre-set pressure, pumping more or less fuel as the delivery pressure (head) varies.
FRA pumps are commonly used as replacements for failed mechanical fuel pumps on older engines, where the owner doesn't want to continue using a pump with a rubber diaphragm susceptable to degradation by modern alcohol fuel blends.
They are also commonly used in open flow, low head applications such as fuel polishing.
• Non-adjustable maximum output pressure is factory pre-set in the ranges indicated below
• Output pressure can be further regulated by screwing in, or placing in-line, an adjustable pressure regulator such as the HOL 12-804
• FRA provides low cost with good durability
• Compatible with all commercially available pump grade gasoline, gasoline-alcohol blends, diesel, and bio-diesel fuels
• Continuous duty life (diesel fuel): >5,000 hours
• Flow rates as high as 52 gph, but 30 gph is a more typical maximum
• Current draw averages less than 2 amps
• Self-priming to at least 2 feet; maximum dry run time is 4 hours
• Inlet (bottom)/Outlet (top): 1/8-27 NPSF (Dryseal American National Standard Straight Pipe Thread) — will accept NPT tapered fittings without leaking, thread sealant recommended
• No internal filter - a 70 micron, or finer, pre-filter is recommended
• USCG 16623-1 and 16623-2 approved; ignition protected
• Dichromate coating passes 96 hour salt spray test - not recommended where exposed to saltwater
• Dimensions: 5.43"H x 2.76"Dia.
• Note - a suffix number (typically -1 or -2) in part number refers to type of packaging
• Made in USA
Technical
Selecting among the Walbro FR Series electric fuel pumps:
• All the FR electric pumps provide fuel until the fuel demand decreases, or flow is restricted - but they have different mechanisms for doing so.
FR pumps will cycle (pump) until they build up the pressure (head) in the outflow line - with an accompanying decrease in fuel flow - and reach their factory preset maximum pressure.
At this point, constant frequency pumps like the FRA will continue cycling - but no fuel will flow.
Variable frequency pumps, like the FRB and FRD, will slow and eventually stop cycling as the pressure builds.
If the pressure on the outflow side of the pump drops, both types of pump will start supplying fuel again.
• Choosing an FR Series pump is often less dependent on the application, and more a matter of user preference:
— FRA pumps are lower cost, basic models.
They have no built-in filter, and their constant cycling means electric current draw is constant - regardless of output, they are always making noise, they typically have a shorter lifespan (higher wear), and they can wear unevenly as the stroke can be shortened when operating near their maximal pressure.
— FRB and FRD pumps have a more expensive variable frequency circuit board, always use their full stroke length - so wear is evenly distributed, do not always operate at full capacity/maximal cycling — so less wear, longer life, less noise, and lower average current draw.
Additionally, the FRB models include a built-in/replaceable 70 micron mesh filter, so the user doesn't need to supply a pre-filter.
• What the FR fuel pump is designed to do:
— In carbureted applications - The FRA and FRB fuel pumps self-regulate to their maximum output pressure when the carburetor bowl is full, and respond to float movement in the carburetor as required.
When the engine demands more fuel, the pump increases its flow rate.
When the engine demand drops, the pump reduces its flow rate.
— In diesel applications - The FRA and FRB pumps will deliver fuel to the diesel injector pump, assuring a positive pressure at the injector pump inlet.
These pumps are designed to refill diesel filters after service or replacement.
— In transfer applications, including fuel polishing, FRA and FRB pumps run continuously, as long as electrical power is supplied to the pump, and output back pressure is low.
— In diesel heater and stove applications, the task-specific FRD pumps will slow their cycling rate to deliver only the fuel required by the stove fuel metering valve ("carburetor").
FRD pumps can also fill day tanks in gravity feed installations.
