How to Use Marvel Mystery Oil As a Gas Stabilizer
Marvel Mystery Oil was first developed in the 1920s to keep engine carburetors and fuel systems clean and free of deposits created by heavily leaded gasoline. Though not exclusively marketed as such, Marvel Mystery Oil can be used as a fuel stabilizer and when used on an annual basis will extend the useful life of fuel for one year. The procedure can be repeated as many as five times allowing for an extended fuel storage life of five years. It can also be used as a stabilizer for diesel and bio-diesel fuels in the same manner as gasoline.

Tips & Warnings
Keep a record of the date that the fuel was treated with Marvel Mystery Oil. This helps when fuel is to be stored for an additional year.
Always store fuels in approved containers and keep them in a cool dry place away from heat or flames.
Be sure to work in a well ventilated area when working with fuels.
Use only funnels approved for fuels. Never improvise funnels from paper or cardboard for use with fuels.
