winterizing fuel what do you use ? Options

[rfuerst911sc]

Just wondering what fuel stabilizer you guys are using ? I know about Sta-Bil, Seafoam and I noticed at the FLAPS today a version by CRC. So what to use ? To be honest I bought 2 cans of the CRC and dumped one can into the GMC diesel even though she's a driver. Just wanted to see what it would do. But I have the 911 , 914 , the beemer bike and various outdoor power products to winterize. So what say the wisdom of the board ?

We have a lot of fuel issues with motorcycles at our dealership. A few things we tell customers:

"If the gas is clear, you're in the clear, if your gas is yellow, you're a stranded fellow"

Fuel starts to deteriorate at about 2 weeks, and you have to include the amount of time it's spent in transit to the station, and sitting in the tanks. I've taken gas back to a station before because of how yellow it was. It was supposedly 93 octane, no ethanol. It was about the color of mountain dew. Sometimes in a station that normally deals in 87 octane only, the premium fuel in their tanks can be many months old before you ever get a hold of it. From what I understand, they don't include preservatives in the fuel for emissions reasons like they used to.

Sta-Bil, Seafoam, or Fuel-Med (what we use for motorcycles) should take care of any "good fuel"
