geez I swear by Sea foam lol. Used to use Stabil until I had a issue one spring, and haven't had any trouble since switching to seafoam.

I'm a Sea Foam fan. Use it as a stabilizer in my small engines and the bikes if they're not to be ridden for a while. I also run some through my 10 year old Nissan Frontier every few months.

I always use the Blue Stabil , more concentrated and cheaper therefor per gallon of gas . A lot of boat owners use this during winter storage of their engines.

Interesting ... I'm not sure that ethanol isn't the real villain.

And it led me to this interesting chain cleaner comparison, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrEpAUi_...l=FortNine

I've found Stabil and Seafoam to have a positive effect over time. I'm not sure the short-term tests in the video are valid or relevant. The real test is to mix with fuel and let them sit for months and try them in the same bike.

In 40 years I never had "bad gas" out of spring storage without fuel stabilizer. However, I always fill storage to the top to minimize surface exposure to oxygen, and top tier brand name regular and mid grade fuel was used. I have used vanilla stabilizer, but quite inconsistently (vs. nothing) in lawn mowers. They never failed to start in spring, typically on the first pull, full choke.
