Fuel treatment product use

I'm not in the USA so cannot help with brand names however I do know from experience in NZ and the UK that petrol retailers can really vary the formula by area, season and over the years.

For example I have used a rusty steel tank repaired with POR 15 in NZ and it is absolutely fine with NZ 95 pump gas. But the same treatment used in the UK did not like the aviation gas we obtained in the Isle of Man.

So to be 100 % sure I don't think you can actually rely on experience and had I the need to store my bike over winter I would drain the tank completely and give it a good dose of WD40 or similar. Plus I'd run the carbs empty and remove the airscrews and blast carb cleaner through the carb.

That's what I used to do with my race bike over winter..

This lady runs a lawn mower repair shop and seems to be legit. She did a common sense test on fuel additives for storage.

Interesting! Do you have to make carb settings or jetting changes?

If your engine is set up for non ethanol fuel, no changes. However if you had changed jets for ethanol containing fuel, you might have to return to previous.

That one I don't know.

He's an obscure actor from the '60s. I couldn't tell you any thing he was in, I just like the name. Sure to find him on youtube.
