Fuel Stabiliser from Sierra extends the usable life of fresh fuel in storage and removes water from ethanol blends, in 250ml chamber packs, 1L, 5L, 20L.
What it does
Fuel goes stale while it sits in a tank or jerry can. Sierra's Fuel Stabiliser goes in while the fuel is still fresh, and the maker says the fuel then keeps its quality for considerably longer. In ethanol blended petrol it also deals with the water that ethanol attracts, which Sierra says it eliminates. It is the storage partner to Fuel Fix: Fuel Fix is the treatment for diesel bug and contaminated diesel, while Fuel Stabiliser is about keeping good fuel good.
Where to use it
Sierra names two situations: fresh fuel that is going into storage, and ethanol blended fuel. That covers fuel held in drums, cans and tanks between uses, and the tank of any engine that will stand idle for a while. More treatments are in our fuel and additives range.
How to use
- Add it to fresh fuel, before the fuel goes into storage. Sierra's catalogue is clear that it works on fresh fuel.
- Dose from the label. The catalogue and SDS we hold give no dose rate, so ask us if the label is not to hand.
- Close the container once dosed.
Safe on / avoid
The SDS classes it as an eye irritant and very toxic to aquatic life, so fill carefully and keep spills out of drains and waterways. Keep it away from sunlight, flames, other ignition sources and strong oxidisers. The flash point is above 92ºC and the SDS rates it not flammable. Read the Safety Data Sheet before use.

▸What is the difference between Fuel Stabiliser and Fuel Fix?
They share one Sierra SDS. Fuel Fix treats diesel bug and sludge; Fuel Stabiliser keeps fresh fuel usable in storage and removes water from ethanol blends.
▸Does Fuel Stabiliser help with ethanol blended fuel?
Yes. According to Sierra it eliminates the water content that builds up in ethanol blended fuel.
▸How long will stabilised fuel keep?
Sierra gives no figure, so we cannot quote a number of months.
▸Can I add it to old fuel?
Sierra's directions are for fresh fuel. For fuel that is already contaminated, Fuel Fix is the product built for that job.
