Default Which fuel stabilizer?

My 1997 Formula has 38000 miles and is already on it's 3rd fuel pump (the dealer tells me it's cause I hardly drive it and told me the gas smelled really bad when they took some out to drop the tank).

Should I be using Stabil or Startron fuel stabilizer?

I use the Marine version of Stabil, its got the Alcohol control stuff in it.. I find on vehicles I don't run much that keeping the tank as full as possible helps a lot. Less air in the tank = less oxidation of the chemicals in the fuel.

Stabil works, but E10 is only good for a few weeks. You should find ethanol free gas and run a stabilizer in it.
