Product Spotlight, Star-Tron Fuel treatment

If your big into the marine world, especially with ocean going vessels you probably are already familiar with this product. As a power sports enthusiast with many motorcycles and other small engines I have tried nearly every fuel treatment or stabilization product that I can get my hands on.
Star-Tron is the latest in my quest for the “best” in fuel stabilization. Star-Tron’s claim to fame is in the marine world in controlling water in the fuel and problems with Ethanol and MTBE in marine spec’d tanks.
Product Description
“Star Tron® is an amazing fuel treatment based on naturally occurring enzymes. Although this is a very unique application of enzyme technology, we encounter various enzymes in our everyday lives. For example, enzymes in laundry detergents break down dirt and stains so that they may be easily washed away, even in cold water. Enzymes in the human digestive system break down food into components that are easily used by the body to produce energy. Functioning as bio-catalysts, enzymes increase and control the rate of chemical reactions. Star Tron® uses highly specialized enzymes to modify how gasoline and diesel fuel burns, the end result being more complete and uniform combustion. This same enzyme package, cleans the fuel delivery system and combustion chambers, stabilizes fuel chemistry and reduces engine emissions.” For complete information visit

Alright, the real question’s are, Does it work? and Do I like it? simple answer to both questions is “Yes”. I have found that it remarkably can make nonburnable fuel, burn. Now it is not going to make old fuel as good as fresh, but in the case of my high performance 2 strokes, it made old premix burnable when untreated the engine would not even start. However the old fuel did not perform as fresh premix. I found the similar to be true with un mixed fuel such as in a 4 stroke. On the long term, if treated when the fuel as fresh the fuel stays fresh much longer and performs better than competitive products. It also works well in my vehicles that sit for most of the year (only get a few thousand miles a year on them). Sweating steel tanks are not an issue anymore. Unfortunately there is no way to definitively “test” or verify the claims on cleaning up the intake valves or tops of pistons, so I will just have to take a leap of faith on that one.
All in all a very good product and it is on my list of “the best” of fuel stabilization products I have tried.
