My GMC Parts Chaser spends a lot of time sitting. Once fired up, it takes several miles before it will take thropttle smoothly. I get nothing, then a surge. Runs fine other wise. What's a reasonable treatment fior ten gallons - or 50 gallons - of no alcohol gas that's going to sit for a couple months? Local places got them all, and at all prices and with all claims. What do you use?

Sea foam for the vehicle.
Basil Hayden smooths out the driver nicely.

Yes, Basil Hayden should work extremely well as long as he doesn’t accidentally pour it into his gasoline tank! :)

I'd be recommending 2 bottles of Maker's Mark. At least one should go down
the hatch ! The second is only precautionary in case the first
fails...then repeat.

I'd look at:
Accelerator pump performance
Choke adjustment
Choke pull off adjustment
AutoThermAC functionality if you have not deleted it.
Leave the Seafoam at the store.

Guys consider...... Elijah Craig invented Bourbon, and his recipe is still sold. Give it a try. Blanton's ain't bad either, or Booker's. And after his spiel a few years ago and a taste test, the Four Roses Master Distiller put m,e on Four Roses Small Batch.
