Title: Stabil with Pure Gas?
Post by: rideserotta on June 04, 2011, 06:21:44 AM
Is there any sense to using Stabil when you're running pure gas? I have easy access to non-ethanol gas and I've been adding Stabil. Not sure I should.

All gas will go off after some period of time.

I'd only use an additive for extended periods of storage if there is no ethanol in it.

Ok... So daily commuter = no Stabil for me. Thanks.

There are other threads about this topic. Me... I am a big fan of Sta-Bil. I use it in all my bikes but I do not have access to good gas. Everything where I live is trash gas. I have several bikes and whether they are carb'd or EFI they all get a splash of Sta-Bil when I top up the tanks before parking them. Some of my scooters might sit a couple of months before use, others get ridden regularly. Like DP said, all gas starts to go downhill with time. Ethanol or not. But if you use the scooter as a daily commuter and it gets fresh gas from the pumps on a regular basis I wouldn't spend the $$ on Sta-Bil. My situation is different.
