When storing for the winter I put a small silver bottle of the Stihl mix oil in the tank, it has a stabilizer in it. If I HAD to choose an additive to use every so often it would be Chevron Techron

The only thing other than gas I put in any tank from my lawnmower to my bikes/truck is Seafoam or Techron.

well mr. moto
come to louisiana during mardi gras.
had a friend that drove a pan electra with a service car tranny. when asked about the tranny, he always said you have to be awfully selective when drunk.
you could see the need for the reverse, he had a 20 pound statue of a horse on the front fender.
