Ebay has 5 gallon bucket for about 220 shipped. It comes to about .06 per treated gallon. Is that a good deal, I have never looked at Worst marine, not sure if they even sell it. How is the shelf life of Stanadyne? It would take me a while to use the whole bucket.

Soutwest Diesel and Electric lists 5 gal of Performance Stanadyne for $479.70... Don't know what shelf life is like, probably very long as long as it remains in a tightly sealed container and in a cool storage area. Stynadyne would be the best to answer that question.

Pat, just want to make sure I am looking at the correct product. Quite a difference in price.

Kevin,

I just happened to grab the SWD&E price from their website and through a Google search. Didn't even look for the Ebay listing...

Strange that it's the same company. Here's their website, (out side of Ebay), with the $479.70 price: http://www.swdiesel.com/index.php?main_ ... 750c7ce5bf

Got it figured out. That price was for 3 five gallon buckets. On SWDE website they have one pail listed at 159 just like ebay. Order it directly form their website and you only pay 172 with shipping instead of 220 on ebay where they really get you for the shipping. I ordered a bucket of it.
They said just do not store it in the sun and you are good to go. Thanks Pat.
