    I have never seen that before.
    I'd just strain it off if you have a big bottle of it. Otherwise, I'd pitch it and buy new.
    Did you try shaking the heck out if it?

    I have never seen that before, I would not take the chance on it messing up your motors
    and buy some new. I agree with Bullfrog, the merc's run better with it in the gas!!!

    Yes it is old 2 bottles of it and both have these? I use it faithfully, never have seen it before myself, but the stuff works, guess I will trash the old bottles and get new.
    Thanks

    I have a bottle a couple years old now and hadnt notice the discolaration nor the crystals. I already learned the hard way about the ethonal gas so I now use it in everything from weed eaters, lawn mowers, to boat motors. Once this bottle of Stabil is gone, I dont figger another bottle will ever last me that long again. If I were you I'd toss the old bottles and start over with new.

    Stabil with separate over time. Pitch it and get some new.
    Seafoam will work as well.
    Thinking about trying the new version of Stabil.

    Call them up and see if they want it back, they may send you some new for your troubles.

    I love Stabil!! I haven't had a carb problem with any of my equipment since I started using it.

    They just released a Marine Stabil that is supposed to do better with Ethanol. We don't have a high ethanol content here in Georgia, but I'm going to look into it when my current supply runs out.
