by Robert Bonnici May 21, 2025

True Brand^® Marine Fuel Treatment and Stabilizer is specially formulated for engines used in marine environments. Safe for use in all inboard and outboard motors, personal watercraft, and other marine sport engines. It fights the problems caused by ethanol fuel through advanced water removal technology. Its highly concentrated blend of detergents and cleaners removes deposits from fuel system components such as injectors, intake valves, and combustion chambers, for easier starting, less stalling, smoother idling, and better throttle response.

Solid Start is a second generation manufacturer of fuel, gear, hydraulic and engine treatments and performance additives. Since 1976, our products have been used in the phosphate, citrus, railroad, steel, coal, entertainment and automotive industries to enhance performance and improve engine life in everything from small engines to heavy equipment. In the mid 1980's, our focus shifted to the automotive aftermarket and, over the years, we have been fortunate enough to partner with and be the supplier of choice for companies such as Disney, Busch Gardens, Firestone, Goodyear, Jiffy Lube, Tires Plus, Tire Kingdom, Southeast Toyota U.S.A., Toyota of Japan, and Mazda of Japan.

We are located in central Florida, so it almost goes without saying that we LOVE being on the water - whether fishing, diving, skiing, wake boarding, tubing or riding personal watercraft. A few years ago, we personally witnessed how the introduction of ethanol into the mainstream fuel supply has increased maintenance costs and, in our case, caused complete failure of marine engine and fuel systems. Our boat suffered complete mechanical failure. We were told that ethanol played a major role in the degradation of the fuel system and that water in the fuel had caused the motor to hydro-lock. Upon teardown, we saw that the fuel had phase separated and documented a significant amount of water in the fuel tank.

This is actual fuel pumped from the gas tank of our boat.

Can we say phase separation?

You can clearly see the phase separation with the ethanol-water blend settled on the bottom.

This was a problem - and, after sharing our story, we realized that this was a large scale problem. We were told that there is no practical additive that can prevent phase separation from occurring or rejuvenate phase separated fuel. As a chemical manufacturer, we were in a unique position to make one. After three years of research, development, and testing, we are proud to introduce the newest Solid Start product and flagship of our new Marine Division, True Brand Marine.

Problem solved.
