Fuel Additives?
#18
In my area we have a big problem with the ethanol in the gas. Ethanol is great to add to a fuel such as gas if you have moisture or water buildup in the tank. Most vehicles do not have a problem with the ethanol and gas because you burn through a tank of gas very quickly as compared to say a motorcycle that only gets ridden a couple times a month. All of my equipment then I run ethanol gas and I have to use a fuel stabilizer. Last year I did not ride my ATV during the winter months and by spring I hate a major problem. During this summer I rode two of my dirt bikes the two to be 200s off-road more then I rode my third TW 200 with street tires on it. I tried to crank this bike the other day and I could smell the fuel had already turned bad. I pulled the bowl off of the car and it was half full of green slime algae. The gentleman who works on my bikes and equipment when I don't have the time says he sees a lot of this. It's all due to the ethanol. Ethanol will absorb water whether it is in your tank that absorbs it and dries out your team or as in my case the fuel will actually absorbs water from the atmosphere. If you do not drain your carbs after each outing, and I totally forgot with this bike, then the gasoline evaporates leaving only the ethanol which absorbs water which is a perfect breeding ground for the green algae. We had one gas station that was selling 100% gasoline but for some reason they stopped. So I have no idea where you can even buy this in my area. But now I had the fuel stabilizer normally stay Bill to every 5 gallon gas can that I buy when I know that she will be use for the ATVs, dirt bikes Or lawn equipment.
