Fuel Additives?
#1
Anyone one periodically use fuel additives to help with water buildup, I think I saw one at the dealer to offset the ethanol effects and extra water..

Isn't that, or doesn't Stabil or Seafoam help with that?

Or buy non-ethanol gas, in my area that would be the Premium... Advertised I believe for sport vehicles, boats, etc

I run a couple oz of seafoam thru a tank once or twice a riding season, and store my bikes with a full tank with 1/2 to 2 oz per gallon of seafoam.

I don't like foolin' with that stuff.And I always use high test or
premium.Because you should get better gas mileage with a higher
grade octane.I can't stand Ethanol.It has a reputation for slowly
destroying an engine.I didn't know Premium gas was ethanol-free.
That's the best news I've heard all day.
Probably because I decided to repair a nice pair of pants today
that have just been hanging in my closet for years.A really nice pair of
corduroy pants.I needed them French cuffed { they were too long }
and the button on the waist to be restritched.There's this Korean fellar
in town who does stuff right there as you wait.
He's done buttons for me for free.he kinda didn't know what I meant
about French cuffing the pants.So after explaining to him a few times and then
wise cracking ... Unless yer sewing machine can't handle it.
He did it in about 5 minutes.I had my wallet in my hand as he said how
much it was.Fibe dallar.I opened my wallet and gave him a fin { 5 bucks }
and then he said real quick ... No no 10 dallar. Then 9 dallar.
He obviously saw real easy when I opened my wallet that I had 10's
and 20's in there.I need to be more careful.Especially in this Economy.
I wonder if my Dealer will pull that crap.

I also use Seafoam in the exact same way. However, for my vintage bikes, I only run ethanol free gas, but I still add Seafoam to it. FYI, I found ethanol free gas in Wooster, OH. I only use it in my vintage motorcycles/cars, and also in small engines like leafblowers, etc.

Not trying to derail the topic into a gas discussion. Just wanted to say that I add Seafoam to ethanol and non-ethanol fuel.

Please don't say Triumph Bonneyville.

I run a half ounce of Startron in every tank. This stabilizes the fuel and also helps with the ethanol and water potential in modern fuels.

You're stream-of-conscious ranting has quickly grown old around here. Why don't you try sticking to moto-based conversation for a change? I'm going to give you some time to think it over. See you in a week.

To point something out, not all premium gas I believe is ethanol free. I believe it is your state or the gas companies that determine that.
