STABIL


I had been using stabil in the tank if I knew the bike would sit for 2 or 3 plus weeks at a time, or certainly for longer. Mainly a concern during the season for my track bike.

Last week I was told by a mechanic (at a reputable duc shop) that Stabil is no longer needed given the Oxygen changes in the gas over the last number of years (not sure of the details or chemistry). A parts guy at Brockton Cycle told me that the traditional STABIL was useless for the new ethanol gas and if i was going to use anything there was new fuel stabalizer out for ethanol based fuels.

Old habits die hard..... anyone have any thoughts on it?
