I got tired of cleaning carbs so I drain them if they are going to sit for a while. Race bikes get the 100LL from the airport which sells for $5.75 a gallon in these neck of the woods.

yeah the airport is another option, I'm 5mins away from that.
I think I'm gonna go with the guys I spoke with yesterday that're 18 miles away...because they'll deliver right to my front door :wink:
Polar-Bus:
E10 + Startron = no issues.

unfortunately I no longer believe that...since Startron was in the tank already....
I've been using it for close to 4 years with good results....but one "strike" is too many for me to continue using it.
Polar-Bus:
Sorry Fox for your situation, Startron has never let me down in the past 8 years, this is NO judgement on you , but one of the aspects of off season fuel treatment that in the past was causing me issues was "did I, or did I not" add fuel stabilizer at the end of last season ?? I have 11 "seasonal" engines that I need to treat at different times during the year and keeping track was a royal pia. Now I write down on a piece of duct tape the date, and a note that yes in fact this fuel treated with Startron and Drygas. I tape the note right to the fuel cap, done!
Foxx4Beaver:
yeah, I add a cap full to every gallon, directions on the bottle are 1oz to every 6gals...and it failed.
I stopped by and asked the guy at my local gas station when they typically get fuel deliveries...he said Monday mornings.
The last time I got my fuel there was a Sunday morning...so it's pretty self explanatory what the cause was....so I'm going full race fuel for now on to eliminate that from ever happening again.
