OK, While we're on the subject of gasoline. What's the predominant opinion on gas additives. It's my understanding that the Ethanol products degrade rather quickly (measured in weeks not months) True or un-true?
Seems like the shelfs are full of the stuff. Do we need it what to buy? I have a bunch of bikes so they don't get used enough and do sit. My experience the bikes which fuel injection seem to take to this without too much trouble but I am concerned about the quality of gasoline now and into the future.
I've used stabel over the winter and a battery tender with no problems.
I did pick up a bottle of ethanol stabilizer (do not remember what brand) haven't used it. Just wondering.
On an aside. I did buy a bike BMW bike from a fellow who had access to Aviation Fuel. The bike did seem to run a bit better on that gasoline.
Back to the question. Do we need ethanol 'treatments" over the summer riding season?
