Same here.

I used it in my bike the last two winters. I never fired up my bike throughout the winter and the first break I get to ride 3-4 months later it fires right up.

I have used it to store bikes, cars and truck for many years. I use the amount for preserving the gas for 24 months.

StaBil is a good fuel injector cleaner also.

Once you open the container, it has a shelf life of 24 months. I put an open date on the container. I get it by the gallon and usually it gets emptied in November/December when I put everything away for the winter.

Along with a battery tender, I have never had anything fail to start up immediately.

I also use it in the snow blower, lawn tractor and portable generator.

Do you mean drink it, or put in bike??? Wouldn't recommend drinking it to pass winter blues - probably won't make it to spring, but bike will...

I use seafoam on everything, once or twice per year and I ride year round, great fuel system cleaner in the base case.

Fuel doesn't go bad in winter, y'all are wasting your money. If I had a sled sitting through summer I'd give it a try.

I have used it for years in the bikes, tractors, riding mower, 4-wheelers, ect. seems to help keep varnish from forming in the carbed vehicles.

I use Seafoam instead as it cleans the injectors and the top end as you run it through.

I have used Sta-bil for many years. In everything, 2 lawnmowers, weed eater, generator, snowblower, snowmoblie, chain saw, cars, diesel p.u., and my Harley. I also store 15 or 20 gallons of gas for all those machines and I keep Sta-bil in that gas. I would never be without it.
