- First off, this video is NOT sponsored in any way, shape or form by any company. Taryl was told to try this stuff PRI-G and he decided to put it to the test. See it in action here and we were impressed with the results. This stuff REALLY does work! What do YOU think? Let us know in the comments below. And THERE'S Your Dinner!!!

Ok ... lets break down what you said initially .. if the barges, and the tanks that hold gas put pri-g in it .. why are we having to put *more* of it to re-rejuvenate fuel?
@@TreborG2 You must wait 30-60 minutes for a mower full tank to give it time to improve the gas, more bad fuel means more time to wait.... NOTHING WORKS INSTANTLY EXCEPT ELECTROCUTION!
I just worked on my dad’s stihl chainsaw .. he said it was running bad and would not shut off..I could not get it to start .. so I cleaned the plug, it fired up fine but was making a weird rattling sound I tried to shut it off, it would not!!! I pulled the plug wire it still would not die!! Finally choked it out with my thumb pulled the rope and it fired up without the plug wire hooked up… the gas was so bad it was running like a diesel.. changed the gas and now it works fine lol..
I'm 74 and wish they would make something that would rejuvenate me back to about 40.
Amen brother! 79 here. Getting old sucks.
@@gordselectronicshobby3853 🤣🤣
74 here also,I would be happy with 54.
ME TOO! 72 here, getting old is NOT for wimps.
just turned 54! it gets worse? lol@@thomasryan8218
The material safety data sheet (MSDS) indicates the ingredient in PRI G is CAS 64742-88-7 (which is naptha). The material safety data sheet for the ingredient in Stabil fuel stabilizer is CAS 64742-47-8 (which is kerosene). So naptha instead of kerosene. And there's your
dinner!
Apparently sea foam has naphtha
HD has it on their website for $32/qt. Coleman fuel, wich is naphtha, is $15/gal. I'll go with Coleman fuel if I need to rejuvinate old gas.
This is some bullshit
@@Tech-NO-City do your own research then
Mothballs in the tank anyone? Maybe there was some basis for that folklore
This is the only product that actually works and is not snake oil but real science!
Have used and recommended for years. When treating stale fuel give it 24 hrs. to react.
I have stored fuel with this for 3 years without an issue.
PRI stands for Power Research Inc., G for Gasoline and D for Diesel
Their marketing VP should be fired because he has done a horrible job promoting this amazing product!!!
wouldn't surprise me if the gov has something to do with the marketing vp doing a "bad" job of promoting

Taryl goes all out again. Next level all out. I saved this one. I'll need it for sure. Thx Bud!!
I've learned more from Taryl than anyone else about small engines, and I had three uncles who were master mechanics, and I'm70years old this year
Same here and I'm 9 years up on you!
Dude I had the opportunity to pick up a distributor franchise 35 years ago and I hesitated even though the stuff worked like a champ on everything I tried back then there's even a version of Pri-G that keeps diesel fuel from gelling in the winter it worked in my tractor perfectly. I definitely have regrets for not picking up that distributorship it's awesome stuff always has been since get go. It's use it in fuel tankers and all kinds of ships on the waterways also the stuff is absolutely amazing in diesel fuel. Great job man on showing what it can do for gasoline 👍
Is it a fuel preservative as well as a restorer?
Please people, watch the whole video including the ending segment before commenting about the oily gas. Which is still impressive that it was able to run better on.
Taryl, they're firing the commens cannon.
@@larryfine4498 Taryl, wasn't Pri-G one of the stabilizers used in your snake oil fuel stabilizer tests? If so, If I remember correctly, it still didn't work.
Yep, considering the oil/ gas it did purty darn good grass Rat's 😊
Hey Taryl I sent a reply earlier but someone deleted it... I put a link to a video I thought you should check out on Phaser 3000.. I guy did some testing as you did and got it to run also.. just trying to help.. not sure why they would delete it but I won't put the link in here you can look for it if you are interested... but the guy got bad fuel to run with x5 the mix ratio..
Tht was unbelievable thank you for sharing
I have used pri- g for over 8 years. I add recommended dose to fresh gas for storage/ emergency use. I use the stored gas after two years and never had any issues with it. It works.
OK... Now fill a can and let it sit for two years and get back with us.... Because it will work just fine. Critical thinking isn't your thing.
@Failure_Is_An_Option always an AH in the crowd. Today, it's you.
Same experience. It just works.
Seeing is believing. Thanks Taryl! Informative as usual!
At the refinery crude oil is distilled into many different compounds (fractions) that range from asphalt to propane and many others in between.
It helps to understand that gasoline is a cocktail mixture of those different fractions. You’ve heard of summer and winter “blends”?
In winter, especially for you grass rats that live in colder climates, more butane is added to the gasoline cocktail for easier starting.
Many times when gasoline goes stale and begins to smell like varnish, the lighter fractions of the cocktail have evaporated, leaving only the heavier, oilier fractions in the can or fuel tank.
You witness this in summer when your gas can swells up with pressure. When you remove the gas cap, some of the lighter fractions that have evaporated due to heat escape.
Just sharing for those inquiring minds who like to understand how things work.
In this case, fuel from Taryl’s slop (waste) barrel is made more burnable using this product.
Man that's some nasty looking oil contaminated fuel. Somewhere Greta's screaming "how dare you"😂
All of it
I thought the purpose of the additive was to rejuvenate stale gasoline. If I heard correctly, this fuel he was trying to get the engine to run on was contaminated with oil and who knows what else. A fair evaluation would be to add it to truly stale gasoline. How long does it take for gas to go stale?
I'm going to try to find some and I have 6 gallon i.need to use if it works.
But, I have sta-bil and if I can find this product w/o too much trouble I'm going to try it with both to see if they both work equally well, if so then it comes down to who has the best price. 😊
@@ronnmiller9085 Home Depot $37.96 for a quart (32 oz) and FREE delivery + tax.
@@Watchyn_Yarwood It varies based on temperature, exposure to the atmosphere/humidity, ethanol content and I'm sure other factors. I've seen it start to turn in as little as a month or two here in Florida as the ethanol absorbs humidity and ruins it fairly quickly. That said, I had a family member store their generator in my shed for about 6 years and when we went to prepare for a hurricane, we found it had gas in it all that time (usually drain them and run until all the fuel is out of the system). We opened the cap to find the gas didn't smell bad so we tried it and it fired right up. He also had some gas cans that were full and that gas was also good I think because they were full and sealed tight. The funny part was we opened one and used some, and within a couple of weeks the gas in that can was totally rotten. Once the air touched it it was all over for that old gas. We ran the rest of the sealed cans in our vehicles with no issue.
But yes, it would be more accurate to use old rotten gas rather than gas mixed with oil, but it's still impressive that it ran on that.
I would just like to thank you for your wonderful camera work. You take it for granted until you watch someone else's videos. You do a great job of showing us the details and the sound is always great.
Well said!
I really was convinced that the oily gas wouldn't run without choking it. That's pretty amazing for how poor the fuel is. Great review Taryl.
Selling out before my eyes on Amazon! Taryl should make a commission!
LOL.. Just like George Clooney and the incredible run on Flowbee during Covid after he endorsed it as his personal hair cutting tool. He got nothing for that!
@@Rick_Retired I learned about Flowbee from watching Northern Exposure when the town got a barber. It gas saved me thousands.
@@Rick_Retired I use that! Do they still sell them? That would be nuts to hear.
I wish he tested that product a couple of years ago with the Arien engine and the fuel stabilizer test
@@ClickinChicken I've been using FlowBee for years. Can't remember when I paid for a haircut last. Yes, they do still sell them, I checked their website a few months back since the one I have is "past its prime" and I wanted to see if they were still in business. I hope I can get another one when this one is shot.
Thank you for promoting this product we have sold for over 15 years., we have seen a huge influx of orders.
Naptha is what they used to call "white gas", used for fuel in camp stoves and the old Coleman lanterns, and is also what cigarette lighter fuel is. Has a very low boiling point. What you're basically doing by adding naptha, is replacing all the volatiles that evaporate out of old gasoline, that creates the combustible fumes, which are what initially combust and ignite the rest of the gasoline.
It makes my brain hurt seeing so many people that don't know this, the power of marketing combined with weak and gullible minds is astonishing!

Greetings Taryl & Fellow Grass Rats:
I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for your informative videos on lawn equipment repair. I've always been an imitation reactive repair person. Willing to attempt minor lawn mower routine maintenance procedures & a few simple repairs once something broke, But, since I have been watching your channel, I have found ample tutorials & guidance to give me the confidence to attempt more intricate & involved repairs. Most recently was a Troy Built TB30R 30" Cut small tractor lawn mower that was left for dead by a former renter. I was told the mower deck had a bent spindle shaft from running over something while mowing the yard. The sudden impact of the mower coming in contact with the obstacle was said to have been so traumatic that it not only destroyed the mower deck spindle shaft, but also bent the crankshaft in the Breaks & Scrap 'Em engine. The old shot mower was left sitting in the driveway, exposed to the elements for over 2 years. Later on, as the residents decided to move out, they of course abandoned the old mower in it's resting place, sitting on the driveway. I thought, what the heck, what do I have to lose? I started in on the mower. First removing the mower deck & belt so I could investigate the engine to see if it was salvageable. As it turned out, the engine crank was not damaged & it would turn over. Your favorite, Nikki Six Carbatrator was a mess. Among other things, looked like it had concrete in the float bowl. I was able to clean that thing up & rebuild it. Cleaned out the plastic fuel tank, replaced the inline fuel filter & intake filter, installed a new battery, shot in some dino farts & she fired right up. I couldn't get Elkskins image out of my head!!! The engine ran ok, but got even better with some basic carb adjustments. So then I focused on the mower deck. I discovered a badly bent blade. No surprise there. But after I removed the blade, I found the deck spindle shaft wasn't bent. But, the 6" pulley mounted on the shaft was. I replaced the pulley. Installed a new 30" blade, reinstalled the mower deck & now I have a working riding mower to use on that property while renovating the house, preparing it for sale.
I credit my ability to work through these issues to you & your crew & your "how to" videos that show it can be done, even by me. Thank you for what you do. Keep up the good work. It is much appreciated.
Sincerely, JGA from Louisville, KY.

They probably didn't really expect the gas to be so contaminated with oil. That gas is quite dark with oil. I'm sure the company meant for the gas to just be old - not saturated with oil. BUT - it worked with enough added !!!
That was barely gas.
Watch the end segment
@@TarylFixesAll CLICK BAIT!
@@TheOzthewiz I don't think you understand what click bait is. This sh** worked
How can I get one of those oz syringes from CVS.did you ask them and they gave it to you.i want to get one@@TarylFixesAll
I think just making regular non ethanol gas would be better. Fortunately I still can get it where I live, but there is only 1 gas station that has it. Yes it's 4.25 a gallon but I don't have the problems that everyone else has. Great video, keep up the great work.
The only thing I use in my lawn equipment is ethanol free 90 octane. I have some 2 1/2 years old gas that I treated with Star Tron Enzyme Fuel Treatment that is still viable. You used to be able to purchase 87 octane ethanol free at Indian reservations in NY, but that's not available anymore. If it was I'd think about using it in my car.
Ethanol free gas has more energy than E-10 or higher that's why it costs more. My guess is ethanol is used like a "filler" so they don't have to use as much petroleum
@@brensdaman926 Ethanol has 40% of the energy of gas. 40% of the 10% used in regular gas can be used to compute energy loss. The ethanol is used to raise the octane level in gas.
I run nothing but ethanol free in my yard equipment and small engines. Never an issue with either my 2 cycle or 4 cycle. I get mine at Co-Op. Only place in town that carries it. Yes it's pricey, but I NEVER have equipment failures. I also installed fuel cut offs on my riding mowers and run them out of fuel when I park them.
Ethanol free is all I use in my small engines. It’s well worth the extra money. Fortunately I live in an area with generally low humidity so that helps if you leave gas in your tank or storage. Fuel shutoffs are essential though long term with any fuel or you will be cleaning your carb
You must have forgotten to take the teeth out and went in the store with them in when they directed you to the free syringes. 😂
Right on brother, LOL
Could have just picked one up off the street in San Francisco
Another product we used was E-Sorb for water in fuel and the stuff is absolutely amazing! No need to worry about water it makes it gasoline soluble and burns in the fuel. The stuff is amazing! We did an experiment with almost a perfect 50/50 ratio of water to gasoline and it would still run on the stuff, not great but it ran period! Because of such a high ratio of water to fuel it was actually producing steam out of the exhaust while it was running! The bonus was steam cleaned the top end of the engine so it's a win win win situation. Though it's not cheap stuff but for people with a boat or hard to access gad tanks? It's priceless! ❤❤❤😊
That Pri-g is amazing especially running on that fuel and oil swill. You always make my Sunday better. Thanks!!!
WHERES MY DINNER ?! lol you left me hanging!
Super job Taryl love your Sunday morning videos
Hey Taryl,
Tim here, i was AMAZED that it actually functioned!!....yes, i use STA-BIL in the hot rod, when i'm done for the season, but all fuel wud be lovely, when i added it, NOT, AWFUL, PEUTRID, SHI% GAS!!.....made a believer outa me.... SUPER cool vid my brother, will have to get some for my shop, and have it in stock......for many reasons.....VERY cool, AND a sure HONEST test/evaluation of the product.....LOVED it!!!!😊
Quit with the Stabil and just put a couple of gallons of race fuel in the tank. Race fuel will easily last a year.
@@jerrydespaltro4023 oh, well i do that anyway.....i mix 4 gal of 90 non-ethanol, with 1 gal 110 leaded race gas, (nets 94 octane, and a splash of lead) THATS what my hot rod runs, car loves it......but when i shut her down for the season, i DO use the marine (blue) Sta-bil, and run it through, as hurting a motor, or gumming up my expensive carb, is more costly, than a few bucks on the Sta-bil, but i'm WITH you my brother...TY for ur thoughts!!
As mentioned, it's primarily naphtha. A gas engine will run very well on naphtha (better than most modern gas blends you can buy at the pump); naphtha is less refined than gasoline, but has the interesting characteristic of raising octane and increasing combustibility; but running a high percentage of naphtha also increases emissions (contains Benzene), which is why it is only used as a gasoline additive to increase octane.
You are almost right about everything except the important part about it having higher octane than gasoline. It actually has a lower octane rating than gasoline.
Have used PRI-G and PRI-D (for diesel) for years and swear by it. Great stuff.
Absolutely love you videos, keep up the good content!! From Michigan!!
Tim. Thank you! As the engine warms up it runs better,, like most engines.
Aerating the "stale" fuel WITHOUT adding the "PIR-G" would have showed the SAME result! LOL
Now that you’ve proven in rejuvenates old gas, I’d like to see if it would stabilize new gas for 19 months. (“Do These Fuel Additives ACTUALLY WORK? Let's Find Out” Jan 5, 2020)
+1 Been waiting for the Sequel(s) to those Experiments... Given what we know from those... An E0 Fuel would be best. The Stabil-360 was on of the last ones standing (and rated for just 12 months so it was still working while "expired"... Had started breaking down)... So might one of the "standards" to compare with (along with E10).
Was very surprised they never used "Original" (Red/Storage) STABIL during testing as it is rated for 2 years... While not focused on fighting Ethanol... It is compatible/meant to work with Ethanol Blends up to E85...
So some E10, Pri-G, STABIL 360 (Amber), STABIL Storage (Red), heck might as well throw in STABIL Marine (Blue)... Along with a selection of the other Stabilizers that DID NOT Gum up or show signs of corrosion LONG before their advertised stabilizer life (Think besides 360 @ 1 year, I think most were 2 years? Maybe 1 was 3 years? But ALOT of them showed gumming/corrosion after less then a year or far less then 24 months...
If you knew all that about the video and date, why not post the link to the video?!!
@@KStewart-th4sk Copy and paste the title in the search box.
Yes it will I am currently running gas in my lawnmower from 3/22 and it starts and runs with a touch of the key. Doesn't roll over 3 times when cold.
Tim, I have used Pri-G for over a dozen years. It works awesome. I learned about it from my friend who took care of all the small engines for the city that I live in. He added that to every tank during the off season and it always worked, even with crap gas. Where your other gas additives only seem to work with New, Fresh gas, this magic juice lets you use old crappy fuel. I am a member of the Church of Pri-G!
IF THEY ALREADY ADDED IT TO THE FUEL, THEN FUEL SHOULD NEVER GO BAD, RIGHT?
👍💋
You would think
no
Great point
I'm sure not all fuel gets it. Just the stuff that is going to sit for a while, or maybe after it sits for so longe, then they add it. If it sell before a curtain amount of time, they don't add nothing.
Seems like the old fuel from your barrel with 2-cycle oil, 4 cycle oil, carb cleaner and what ever else you put in there would change the chemistry a bit so, it took more of the PRI-G to rejuvenate the fuel. If it was just pure old gas, the re commended dose may have been all it needs. Plus a little more reaction time may make it work better. Either way I am impressed with this product. It does work!
This made a believer out of Taryl and he has a lot more expertise than me. I will still try to use fresh gas!
I agree about "always using fresh gas", but the rest of this EXPERIMENT is PURE BS!
BS ? How so? @@TheOzthewiz
Try backing up YOUR BS.
I am impressed! I'm definitely going to try it.
Not sponsored. Lol. Your selling it in your store. Self promotion seems similar to a sponsorship to me. 😂
PRI-G works! Have use it for 20+ years. I have 96 carburetors on equipment and don't have to touch any of them. They always start. I have a Stihl Km110r String Trimmer that was bought new in 2001 and it has never had the carburetor touched since new. Still has the original fuel lines and fuel filter. 3 pulls cold and it is running.
Awesome show, thanks guys 📧👍🔗Let's take this discussion off this platform
I've been using PRI-G for several years. I noticed that it improves mileage a small amount (0.5-1.5mpg increase) in all my vehicles. The MSDS I looked up years ago indicate naphtha and organic dispersant (don't remember if there were more) as ingredients. I store non-ethanol gas for backup during hurricane season. Never had a problem with it, and all my gas works fine. I've found it does change color as it ages.
Hey Taryl nice review I think it’s main purpose is to extend fresh gas storage primarily for generators during power outages. They have a the PRI-D for diesel.

Thanks Taryl, you made a believer out of me.
Would love to see long-term results of tapping the recycle barrel and using the contents in your personal small (and, uh, maybe LARGE...) engines. Amazingly, I didn't see any smoke from the oil, but what about performance/MPG/engine wear?
Looks like a decent product for old gas...I wouldn't put it in my car or motorcycle, but it is good enuff for my power equipment...Thanks Taryl! 😎
why wouldn't you pit it in your car or motorcycle?
No way you want to put any altered fuel in a fuel injected car. It might do thousands of dollars of damage to the fuel system, or catalytic converters.
I'd put it in the Space Shuttle!

@@billsimpson604 people put this product in motor vsls, much bigger and expensive agents than a car's it. it wont make it worse
I actually saw this for sale at a local power equipment shop close to 20 years ago. Its been around a while. I use Ethanol Shield/Mechanic In a Bottle with great success
Nice to find a product that actually works. I admit I could be totally wrong on this but as gasoline is exposed to the atmosphere, the lighter fractions of the fuel blend which help the engine to start easily will evaporate off and leave the heavier fractions of the blend behind. If left long enough a sludge deposit is left behind in the carbatrater bowl. Gasoline goes through some chemical changes as it ages and I'm curious how the Pri-G actually works. Saying "chemistry" or "science" isn't an answer. What does the product actually do? Let me guess - they use the best snakes in America. Thanks for the vid.
Looks like PRI-G is the real deal! Definitely going to add that to my workshop! Thank you Taryl, for doing this real world test even though you weren't sponsored by them. I figure they owe you 10G's anyway! 😁 Take care, and thanks again for all you do!
Best testing ever.
This additive must be combining with the air on the molecular level if the engine only runs with the choke on .Up in Alberta, 20 years ago we built a plant that combines Oxygen in the gasoline chain. It was built primarily for the California market. MBTB is the acronym I believe. But I think the plant has been mothballed 10 years ago for not producing the targeted market and economic returns results.
But very interesting video .
I'd be interested in you doing a video on how to tast gasoline for ethanol content and how to remove ethanol from a gas can before you put it into the tank and possibly ruin fuel system parts like what is happening in the automotive industry.
When you say old gas. How about with all the water that gets into ethanol gas after a year?
70 yr old fat welder, here, made a believer out of me. Wish I would have learned about this stuff long ago. Thanks Taryl. Hello from the people's republic of Washington, out here in the Pacific Northwest, 50 miles north of the *SAN-FRAN-FREAK-O* of the north, formerly known as Seattle.
I use sta-bil on fresh gas. Keeps the gas good for years. My Bronco sat for 5 years with sta-bil in it and started right up like I'd just ran it yesterday.
I have NEVER used ANY "stabilizer" in the 20yrs that I have owned my MTD Yardman rider "Breaks & Scrapum" powered rider. Never drained the gas at end of season and RARELY use anything but ethanol gas. The engine ALWAYS starts in about 5sec and runs SMOOTHLY immediately after shoving the choke in!! The "electric shutoff valve" in the carburetor probably has a LOT to do with not having any issues!!
It is funny that sta bil didn't make the cut when Terly tested all of those lawn mower motors for a whole year. It failed.
You will not get Stabil to run in a small engine after a couple of years. PRI-G will run after 2 years with no problems.
@@jasonbusch3624 That's not true in my experience. I've had no problem using sta-bil. Last year I started using sta-bil diesel for my diesel engines. I've had diesel go bad sitting in my Kubota for 2 years. Fortunately it's simple to drain and prime the system to get it running.
@zetamale7952 I have bought many pieces of equipment that was treated with Stabil. The gas evaporated and left a dark maroon colored syrup in the carburetor. One was so badly corroded I had to drill the fuel inlet out with a drill bit. I got the carburetor clean but ultimately ended up buying a new carburetor because the needle and seat was so pourus from corrosion it would leak all the gas out. I have never seen a problem with diesel except algae growth in the fuel tank and through out the fuel system. I have diesel that is 5 years old that is treated with PRI-D that is currently running in my tractor.
I think VGG should give this stuff a try. Good video Taryl.
If Taryl says it works, that's good enough for me
We have used Pri-G since the early 2000s in our houseboat. Gas usually sits in its tanks for a year, sometimes longer. Never had an issue with using it, we always have used it as a pretreatment. Adding when refilling.
Maybe a two year test like you did for all the other additives? See if it really works in the long run. BTW because of that test, I now only run non-ethanol gas in my lawn equipment and drive all the way out to North Judson, IN. to get it. It's called Rec90 and is usually about $1 - $1.50 more per gallon than regular gas.
Just a tip, I hope you try this. Add some water (preferably distilled @ roughly 10% of the total volume) to a gasoline ethanol blend and stir it up. This will make the ethanol and water mix and then fall out to the bottom because ethanol has a higher affinity for water than it does with gasoline. The gasoline can then be easily separated off the top. Hope this saves you some time and money.

Me too. Only non-ethanol in my small engines.
@@TheRealMikeDrop The problem doing that is, I think the ethanol is used to boost the octane. So you remove the ethanol, you lose a percentage of the octane too. How much I don't know.
@@dkeith45not only that but not everyone has the time to separate it either so it doesn't save time at all. If anything it costs more time.
What a great find. Thanks
Looks like it works Tarl
Glad to see it worked. You should also test Star Brite Star Tron. I've been using it with success for years as a stabilizer. They also claim it will rejuvenate stale gas.
Nice
Great video!
Adding a little 2 stroke oil in 1:54 the gasoline of the 18 hoss Briggs over 15 years never did it no harm... same exact bottle craftsman
there was a study done with additives and wear on diesel engines a while back. motor oil used as a fuel additive made more wear on the engine.
@@michaelotoole1807 2 stroke and motor oil are not the same thing. I have never heard of anyone intentionally adding motor oil to gas.
Great information, thanks 😊
Try that with the snake oil products.
YES!
I have used kerosene to raise the octane in the ethanol free 89 (16 oz kerosene to 25 gal 89 octane gasoline. Yes, it stopped the pinging.), but didn't realize it would act as a preservative too. I always store my gasoline and diesel with Seafoam added but I may try kerosene or naphtha and see if it will stabilize the fuel just as well. I have no problems with any fuel past one year stored with Seafoam (always ethanol free). You could do some video experiments in series covering everything fuel. The comments to this video are very informative so I would like to thank the "commentors", and thank you for the video!
Kerosene has a much lower octane rating than gasoline.
@@AtimatikArmy Kerosene has a lower flashpoint than gasoline. 93 octane has a lower flashpoint than 89 octane. Look up why preignition ping happens.
@@nelseshaver2679 Pretty sure it has a higher flashpoint than gasoline. That's why you can drop a match in it and the match will go out. Try that with gasoline and you have a serious problem.
@@AtimatikArmy lol. You are correct. I had it backwards regarding the flashpoints. Kerosine in harder to ignite than gasoline of any octane. 89 octane will flash at lower pressure and temperature than 93 octane will. Adding kerosine to any octane gasoline will raise the flash point therefore reducing pre ignition.
if i can find it in Canada
i will give it try
I'm 80 yrs old and remember seeing that green Sinclair Dino at all the stations. ( Keeping up the amusing " fossil" fuel myth.😂😂) The industry had to glamorize it's image. They still use the term today. Dandahermit
If I would not have seen it with my own eyes I would not have believed it. I'm getting some.
EXPENSIVE 😢
@@beachbums2008just get naphtha at any camping equipment store and get the same result at a fraction of the price. That is the effective ingredient in Pri-G !
Great video Taryl! I bet that old gas was smelling like varnish. Pretty interesting product there.
Will this actually reverse phase separation?
I don't think so ,I came across something similar ,that behaved more like a catalyst, where I even started my Toyota engine without the coil wire attached.

Thanks Taryl 👍👍 you make me laugh and are a the Splinter of all Grass-Rats😊 (ninja turtle reference there) ✌❤🇦🇺
The Taryl effect- Pri-G is out of stock everywhere. One genius has a bottle listed for $300.00!
Get plain old naphtha fuel (aka white gas) and get the same result at a fraction of the price. Regards !
Thank you for your real time research.
Are those real teeth?
I’ve always wondered that!
Unless its a typesetting error on inputting typed information in scamazn description it says "one quart treats 512 gallons and is a complete fuel treatment that improves any type of gasoline"
Whoop!!!
Hi Taryl, I watched your fuel additive test from a few years back and realized you never tested a product called Startron. It is widely used in the marine industry and it is an enzyme that not only keeps gas fresh BUT will also clean deposits in the fuel system. Glass bowl filters that were crusty became much cleaner with use of Startron in the fuel. Not sure what it does for stale gas. I have used it in all of my equipment for years including my classic Austin Healey Sprites with SU carburetors, which can be finicky, and needles and valves stay clean and run well. If you have never tried Startron you should make an honest attempt. I hope to see you in September as we are traveling by your turnoff on the way from SW. Florida to Elkhart Lake, WI.
Awesome show, thanks guys 📧👍🔗Let's take this discussion off this platform
It only works if the moon is full but not on a night when it rains the day before.
Excellent comment. I design and build custom-made air guitars, and using this stuff is vital to my business. By the way….see my ad in the latest edition of the “Journal for Excellence in Mediocrity”.
It's time to test this for many months like you did the other fuel additives. With all of the comments about it being "just naphtha" it would be worthwhile doing a test with adding Coleman fuel to the stale gas and see if it has the same effect as Pri-G. If it does, run a head to head test over many months like you did with the other fuel stabilizers. If you run the long term test, store your fuel in a metal container. I've seen naptha evaporate right through a plastic container without softening the plastic.

Where’s My Dinner?
Shouldn’t I subscribe and follow ?
I will try PRI-G.
Are you going to carry it in the Tar Store ?
awesome channel Taryl, always fun and educational to watch
The obvious question: If they use it in refineries and storage tanks then why does the fuel go bad in the first place?
My thought exactly!
Shelf life
Lol! I learnrd alot with a touch of humor!
I just pour old gas like that in my cars and fill the tank with good gas.. it will mix up well and the o2 sensors will account for any change that it needs.. fuel injection burns that old gas pretty well.. because it can automatically adjust on the fly.. just dont fill more than a quarter tank of bad gas at a time. I haven't seen any issues with it. I'll be happy when all mowers are fuel injected.
If the feds don't ban them first.
Great experiment. Thanks!
I think a whole lot of the success of this kind of stuff depends on where you live. When I lived in Arizona, I didn't need anything. I moved back to the south, and none of this stuff works.
I’ve had small engines since I was 10. I have never used any of these products. Not that I didn’t dirty carbs from engines sitting to long. But I know how to clean a carbitraitor. Lol. There’s yur dinner
You sure do, Taryl! I've learned a bunch watching your videos
I was wondering if the local climate had anything to do with these ethanol related issues. I've also haven't experienced these issues living here in California.
I have use a similar product made by Certified Labs that I have been using for over 20 years. It works great.

If you just Treat your 55 gal drum , you could “BOTTLE IT “!!! And sell it !!!! Label it “ TFA SNAKE OIL !!!!! You’ll be RICH !!! Just send my Commission !! 😂
Thanks for all your effort to test this out looks to be the real deal. Ed

@2:06 Gas refineries DO NOT buy PRI-G. It would be prohibitively expensive. Instead they buy the raw materials. This is snake oil at it's finest.
Just like Oxiclean, the active ingredient is sodium percarbonate but is only in 40% volume. The rest is fillers. Then they charge for those fillers and fancy packaging.
Just buy sodium percarbonate in bulk and save.
You put sodium percarbonate in your fuel?
Laundry. I used it as an example of how companies take advantage of consumers.
Nice demo! Glad you filmed the last segment also. I’m sold. I’ll get it for my power scrubber and generator, both of which I don’t use very often, so this will be perfect. Thanks Taryl and gang!

Taryl, can you repeat this same test with Sta-Bil? Or maybe even other stabilizers?
That's what project farm is for.
he already tested a bunch of them in a series of videos over a year.
Green slime in carbetrator
Taryl love your content bro keep it up please
There was a TH-camr that tests a bunch of fuel additives years ago. It was a pretty thorough test lasting about a year as I recall.
What they found out is that the fuel additives don't do anything to help the gasoline to last longer or stay in better condition for the carbs on a bunch of small engines.
They proved that they're all snake oil and in fact in some cases the additive made things worse and that plain gasoline worked better without any additives.
Moral of the story?
Go pound your additive.
This was the youtuber that did that test?
Well I would agree that it could help in a situation such as you were mentioning as an island or a country that doesn't use a lot of fuel and has to import it all. Obviously they don't use it in the United States. If they did our gas wouldn't be turning into crap after a couple months. 😢. One other thing to recommend if you're going to treat a 55 gallon drum see if you can find somebody with an old aquarium pump and buy a new bubbler stone at the Walmart. If they want to put some air into that fuel get that and put it in your $55 gallon drum and run it for about an hour. I wouldn't want to run it too long cuz you would help to vaporize what few volatiles you have left. ☹️. And as another poster said probably letting it sit for 24 hours after treatment and oxygenation would give the chemicals time to react. Obviously not a problem this time of year, but in the winter time I would give it a longer period 48 to 72 hours to react.
The ethenol in the gas, absorbs moisture to further contaminate the fuel
Good demo! Looks like it works!
My trick is I don’t buy more gas than I can use in 1 month. I add seafom to a 5 gallon can. If it runs out whatever is left in my mower’s carb won’t gum
up before i get more gas. I never have to drain out the carb when I store the mower. Starts every time in the spring.
This stuff may work too, but cost 3-4 times as much. Thanks for the video, but I will keep doing what I do. You be you.😊
i do the same thing, i also put some murphys mystery oil in the gas. never had a carb problem, never remove gas from snowblower or generator. starts up no prob every time.
If your gas is only a month old, you can easily save your money on the seafoam.
@@michaelotoole1807 Murphy sometimes goes by his "alias",which is Marvel.
@@aswilson5656 maybe, but I have a lot of small equipment and it doesn’t always get run enough to empty a tank in a month. I put it in the gas can when I get gas and if I happen to not use a machine for a few months, I don’t have any worries. Cheap insurance. I’ve had gas gum up in the carburetor in as quick as three weeks without treating it. One bottle of seafoam for $8 does 15 gallons of gas. That’s not what I call breaking the bank.
@@markrunyon5524 cripes! thanks for the correction. im not even drinking.... thats just sad.
thank you sir. another show i was happy to watch.
Nice to know about this stuff. This is my first time seeing this stuff. I was actually impressed as I had just been draining and throwing away the old gas. Thank you for the video
Awesome show, thanks guys 📧👍🔗Let's take this discussion off this platform.
I would try your exact testing after servicing the low speed jet. The surging sounds like that idle jet has some boogers in its orifice.
Engine ran fine with the fresh fuel in the beginning. There’s yur dinner. Grassrat
