I just had my 73 Bay Window tank cleaned and sealed by a radiator shop. Then talking with my Dad he said he heard. If you have sealer put into your tank you should not use a fuel stabilizer. Someone who we know is having problems from this with their carburetors.

Anyone ever heard of this?

needed if car sit long periods of time like month or more, keep in mind even fuel stabilizer not stop water from getting in new ethanol fuel.

I use a fuel stabilizer in all my vehicles that don't burn at least a tank a week. I found one that somehow makes the water dissipate. It's called Helix 5 in one. https://www.helix5in1.com/

My concern is something about the stabilizer reacting with the sealant and it ending up in the fuel and then jacking up the carbs..
