There isn't an additive that can make gas last 400 hours. You won't have any problems if small engine owners would just follow what the small engine manufactures say in there site.



I thought the same thing. That is why I did my own test. My results are from my own test. My test mules were an IH Cub Cadet 70-100 and a 149.
Merk: Are you having a bad day with your reading glasses? The Garden Tractor has 400 hours of use on it. I buy my gas 10 gallons at a time.
If you want to get technical, 400 hours divided by 24 hours is a little over 16 days. (based on the way you responded). All of the additives I know certainly would make the gas last 400 hours. The sky isn't falling now, it seems it already has. Better read the manufactures site again to make sure you don't run into problems..
