Let’s begin!

Why Use Star Tron Fuel Treatment?

As most boaters know, many problems come directly from the fuel you use to power your time out on the water. Adding Star Tron fuel treatment to your boat’s fuel helps cure and prevent these fuel problems.

Due to the new fuel chemistries and new regulations required by government regulators, Star Tron has adapted by providing a new approach to treating common fuel issues.

Star Tron is a multifunctional fuel treatment that enables boaters to run faster, cleaner, and smoother without hassle. Let’s take a look at some of the most important reasons you should use Star Tron Fuel Stabilizer in your outboard motor:

Stabilizes Gasoline for Up to Two Years

When it comes time to winterize your engine as part of essential maintenance for Yamaha, Mercury outboard motors, Mercruiser engines, and Suzuki outboards, a fuel stabilizer eliminates the need to drain fuel before storage by keeping fuel fresh for up to 24 months. By adding a Star Tron fuel stabilizer, you can prevent gum and varnish build-up within your engine's fuel system during the off-season.

Removes Gum, Carbon & Varnish

The fuel you put into your outboard motor has plenty of additives that can literally gum up the works. From your fuel injectors, fuel filters, fuel pumps, fuel lines, carburetor, and more, using Star Tron Enzyme Fuel Treatment safely breaks apart built-up crud, saving you money on repairs.

Prevents Phase Separation

Regularly using Star Tron helps prevent “phase separation," a process where the ethanol content of the gasoline draws water into the fuel. Once fuel reaches its saturation point of moisture from the environment, you can kiss optimal performance and gas economy goodbye.

By using Star Tron, you can ensure that you preserve the quality of gas that reaches the fuel inlet of your engine and reduce corrosion of your outboard motor from water exposure.

Improves Fuel Economy

Most boaters love to save some money anywhere they can, and there’s no better way to save money than stretching fuel efficiency. From improving the quality of the gas that reaches your engine and removing gum and varnish deposits, Star Tron allows your fuel to burn how it was intended.

Rejuvenates Stale Fuel

Got stale fuel? Rather than draining your tanks when good fuel goes bad (and draining your wallet), save the tank with a single application of Star Tron Fuel Treatment.

More Cost-Effective than Other Brands

Boats are expensive, but your fuel stabilizer doesn’t have to be. Star Tron Fuel Additives work in all engines and with all fuels at one of the lowest costs per gallon of any fuel stabilizer.

100% Made In the USA

Star Tron is a quality all-season, all-purpose treatment that is proudly MADE IN THE USA. Produced by Star Brite®, a leading marine products brand, you can rest assured that only the highest-quality ingredients and latest technology go into every bottle of Star Tron.

Which Fuel Additive Is Right for Your Outboard Motor?

Now that you understand the benefits of using Star Tron Fuel Additive in your marine engine, it’s important to know that there are a variety of concentrations and usages depending on your needs.

How to Use Star Tron Fuel Additives to Maintain Your Marine Engine

Star Tron Fuel Additives are great for your engine year-round. Experienced boaters who want to prolong their outboard motor’s lifespan and maximize its performance use Star Tron in three primary ways:

• Start
• Run
• Store

Start

Have a problem starting your outboard motor consistently? By adding Star Tron to your fuel tank before starting your engine, boaters experience a cleaner and more reliable startup.

After bringing your boat out of storage for the season, adding a fuel stabilizer clears out accumulated gum and carbon deposits leftover from the previous season. By regularly using Star Tron, boaters will experience less vibration, less bogging down at high RPMs, and fewer rough starts.

Run

Consistent performance is the name of the game when it comes to enjoying a worry-free time out on the water. Adding Star Tron helps your engine over the long haul, avoiding performance issues such as underperforming RPMs, bogged-down engines, rough idles, and degrading components (such as fuel lines) due to the ethanol content.

Store

When it comes time to winterize your boat until the next season, Star Tron Enzyme Fuel Treatment helps preserve your engine’s components, as well as stabilize fuel for use when you’re ready to take the boat back on the water next season.

Solving Common Fuel System Problems

Fuel Stability & Debris in the Fuel System

Fuel that ages or is left to sit for more than three months forms harmful gums and other solids, leaving deposits throughout the fuel system. These deposits make the engine run poorly and contribute to hard starts. Engine knocking, lost performance, and rough idling are typical results—all things boaters can do without.

Solution: Using Star Tron regularly breaks down harmful deposits into particles that can be safely dispersed throughout fuel and easily burned during the combustion process, restoring full performance and fuel efficiency.

Water In Fuel

Water in fuel will degrade combustion. As the amount of water in your fuel increases, your engine will begin to run rough or stall. Additionally, water corrodes engine components likely to remove years from your outboard’s lifespan.

Solution: Star Tron Enzyme Treatment is formulated to reduce surface tension between fuel and water and reduce the size of the molecular water clusters. Just one application of Star Tron allows more water to be dispersed throughout the fuel and safely eliminates it as the engine operates.

Decreased Power & Performance

With more environmentally friendly gas options available to boaters, there’s a trade-off. Modern fuels burn cleaner than previous decades to avoid pollution. However, this comes at the expense of overall power and performance.

Solution: Star Tron enzymes help break apart large clusters of fuel molecules. That creates more surface area and allows additional oxygen to react during combustion. This triggers a more thorough burn of the fuel and improves fuel economy, increases engine power, better throttle response, and reduces toxic emissions. Star Tron also helps remove carbon deposits, keeping your engine clean and operating at peak performance.

What Makes Star Tron Better Than Some Other Fuel Additives?

Boaters know that not all products on the market are created equally. Star Tron has been boaters’ first-choice in fuel stabilizers for the past 15 years due to its emphasis on providing a quality boating experience without cutting corners.

100% Alcohol- and Emulsifier-Free

There are plenty of fuel stabilizers on the market today, but when you start to do your research, you may be surprised to find how many brands use alcohol and emulsifiers in their formulas.

While it's important to carefully read any fuel additive's SDS (Safety Data Sheets) before using it, Star Tron does not contain any alcohol or other emulsifiers. Star Tron products are 100% safe for use in all ethanol blends from E5 to E85 and cannot be overdosed.

Cost-Effective

In addition to great performance, one of the best reasons to choose Star Tron Fuel Additives is its low price point. Star Tron was developed as a cost-effective solution in response to other marine fuel additives.

Can I Use Startron Fuel Stabilizer for My Other Vehicles?

Star Tron is a quality product designed for usage in gasoline- and diesel-powered outboard boat motors. But did you know that you can use Star Tron for your other vehicles, tools, and applications?
