Hi all,
So far, I have filled the tank a single time with regular gas (I guess 10% ethanol). Now I am planning to winterize the motorcycle, which basically means adding some fuel stabilizer to a topped up tank. I bought Lucas Stabilizer from Home Depot. From what I see online, however, fuel stabilizers are not doing much (i.e., see Oct 21 youtube episode by Fortnine). This whole issue seems to be prevented if I simply put ethanol free gas in the tank. I would love to use pure gas on a regular basis, and even better if that avoids me putting more chemicals in the tank. But can't find any gas stations that sell ethanol-free gas (greater philly area). My question is:
Is it worth the extra effort to go find some pure non-ethanol gas for winterizing the bike or should I follow the shortest path of using a fuel stabilizer?
Thank you.
