    Stabil has always been the Gold standard but others have appeared on the market such as StarTron. And I know there are others.

    I always use non-ethanol fuel for my bikes, but because I have so many I like to add something to help maintain the fuel while it sits in between rides.

    Curious what you all are using and why.

    FWIW....all my bikes have carburetors.

    TIA!

    I used to Stabil, then StarTron, now I just use E-free fuel. It is good for years, so already better than an additive. A lot of testing shows a lot of damage from the additives. One of my bikes wouldn't even start a few weeks after adding a stabilizer. I don't use anything anymore.

    OK thanks for the feedback.

    I'm not at all convinced of anything - except using gas with Ethanol in it is no bueno.

    Lots of YT vids on additives. Here's one:

    Here in Canadaland, we don't have access to ethanol-free fuel anymore.
