Star Tron Enzyme Fuel Treatment
Star Tron uses a proprietary enzyme formula that stabilizes stove fuels and digests organic deposits rather than relying on harsh biocides, making it a top choice for protecting small stove fuel accessories without risking corrosion. Its enzyme-based action is gentler on seals and lines than traditional chemical biocides like Biobor JF, and its dosing and retail price position it as a cost-effective preventive treatment for routine maintenance. For users prioritizing compatibility and long-term storage of portable stove fuel, Star Tron balances safety and value against more aggressive options on this list.

Sea Foam Motor Treatment
Sea Foam is a versatile, cost-effective multi-fuel treatment prized for its gentle but effective cleaning and stabilizing action, making it well-suited for stove fuel accessories and small camping stoves where material compatibility matters. It holds a best-in-class spot for general-purpose maintenance because it cleans deposits, stabilizes fuel, and is less likely to damage seals or wicks than harsher diesel-specific chemistries, though it is not as aggressively formulated as specialist diesel cleaners like Liqui Moly or Stanadyne. For buyers wanting one product to cover storage, light cleaning and ongoing upkeep of stove fuel systems, Sea Foam offers strong technical value at a modest price point.
