What's everyone use for Fuel Stabilizer in 2 strokes with oil already mixed?  Here are two I found.  How long do they last, "long storage periods", i.e. 1 million years? :)


Gold Eagle Ethanol Treatment

A new formula designed to prevent corrosion from moisture and ethanol induced water attraction
Best ethanol problem fighter with more than four times the fuel system cleaner than regualr Sta-Bil
Contains twice the corrosion prevention than Sta-Bil, as well as two non-alcohol water removers
Designed for use with every fill up in all 2-4 stroke marine engines running gasoline, gas-oil mixtures, and ethanol blends
Can also be used as a safe storage treatment in snowmobiles, motorcycles, motor homes, and all outdoor power equipment including tractors and lawn mowers
8 oz. treats up to 80 gallons and 32 oz. treats up to 320 gallons

Maxima Fuel Storage Stabilizer

Prevents the deterioration of fuel and stops the formation of gum and varnish
Eliminates the need to drain or dispose of fuel over long storage periods

1oz. per gallon protects system from corrosion due to the use of ethanol based fuels

Charles Owens:
I don't think I have ever used a stabilizer.
If theres gas here and I'm not broken, I'm riding. :)

BRP makes 2 + 4 fuel conditioner.
It has been around for years going back to the OMC days.
Works very well for storage up to a year. Long term storage rate 1oz to 2 gallons.
I sell it by the box load to boaties. It does work.

Cant say i have ever put it in my bike but would if i needed to.
Mercury makes a similar product under their Quicksilver brand.

Cant comment on any after market brands , i just never use them when you have a product you know works.

I too have been using Maxima Fuel Storage Stabilizer for the last several years. I have no complaints here.

SachsGS:
Years ago a friend of mine traded in a Ford van and,as it was very high mileage,the dealership checked the compression.When it was found that the 351 was still in perfect condition they asked my friend why and he "hummed and hawed".Then it dawned on him - at the end of every race he would pour his premix into the truck's gastank!

I try to store my gas in a cool,dry place and generally don't use fuel stabilizers but it should also be noted that gasoline here in Canada is blended differently then in the U.S..
