Title: Fuel Stabalizer
Post by: vorBH on November 11, 2008, 05:48:30 PM
Snow's around the corner here in Toronto, packing it in soon.

Can I just get Fuel Stabalizer from Canadian Tire? Is it motorcycle specific? Or just general fuel stab.?
Will 1 bottle be good for 2 bikes?

 It is the same they use in cars  :cheers: I think only boats may use something different  :dunno_white: ...

Anyway, read the bottle, I think even the small size is good for more than one bike. The bottle will say how many gallons it will treat. The GS is 5 gal.

:cheers:

for me. i keep it cheapo ...
emgo oil filters. castrol 10w40 4-stroke motorcycle oil. motomaster fuel stab. shell bronze gasoline. kerosone to clean chain. pj1 blue chain lube.

i don't abuse my bike, but then again, i certainly don't 'pamper' my bike.

so, if it matters to you ... it matters.  :)
