Boat mechanics are finding themselves dealing with a flood of frustrated owners who bring in their boats because the engine isn't running right or has a gummed-up carburetor, only to bring it back as soon as a month later with the same complaint.  The problem is not the engines - it's the fuel.

The introduction of ethanol into fuel has caused a wide range of problems.  Ethanol is a fuel, but blending it with gasoline results in issues that are very often blamed on engines or the mechanics who maintain them: rough idling, hard starting, gummed-up injectors or carburetor jets and an overall loss of power and cruising range.  Mechanics are reporting that the new blended fuels are raising havoc with boat engines because the fuel breaks down very quickly, forming gums too fast for traditional stabilizers to keep up.  The "tried & true" marine fuel stabilizers and additives that rely on 50-year old technology just don't work with today's new fuels.  They either cannot remove gum or they remove it in big chunks that end up causing clogs.  The solution is simple; today's new fuels demand new technology, and that is Star Tron Enzyme Fuel Treatment.  Star Tron is a new, very effective way of solving a wide range of fuel-related problems.  It uses a proprietary blend of enzymes to stabilize fuel chemistry and break down gum into sub-micron-sized particles that can be eliminated while the engine is running.  Star Tron will dramatically slowing the aging process in order to keep fuel fresh and at peak combustibility even after long periods of storage.  Its enzymes are particularly effective at cleaning the entire fuel delivery system to allow engines to once again perform at peak efficiency.

Gum formation is a major problem with ethanol-blended fuels. Because ethanol and gasoline do not chemically bond, E10 can begin to break down and form gums very quickly.  As a result, engines that come out of the shop after expensive carburetor rebuilds or injector cleaning, but then sit idle for several weeks, may go right back to running poorly when they are finally used.  Star Tron stabilizes fuel while it also disperses any existing debris to keep it from clogging injectors or carburetors.  It also helps prevent phase separation that occurs when water and ethanol bond together and then "fall out" of the gasoline, resulting in degraded fuel and an engine that can't perform at its best. 

Engines powered by Star Tron-treated fuel start easily and run smoothly even after sitting idle for extended periods.  The enzymes in Star Tron allow more oxygen to bond to the fuel hydrocarbons which results in a more complete burn of the fuel charge, even in ethanol fuels.  This translates into easier starting, better throttle response, decreased emissions, the prevention of carbon deposits and an overall improvement in engine performance and fuel economy. 

Ever since ethanol first appeared in marine fuel, Star Tron has been solving ethanol-related problems, quickly and effectively.  Star Tron works in all 2 and 4-cycle engines, regardless of size or age.
