Fuel treatment

[bullant12]

My dealer told me to put a cap full of gas treatment in my tank every other fillup. I bought Star Tron enzyme fuel treatment. The fellow at the auto parts store told me to use it every time.

I use Stabil or Marine Stabil when storing (or riding less) in the winter. The remainder of the year I use nothing. Waste of time and money, IMO. If BRP had intended it to be done, it would say so in the manual. What the dealer says (and sells) is strictly his opinion...and may be of questionable motivation. JMHO

:agree: With Scotty... sounds like a sales pitch to me! I only use Star Tron in the winter...

For a motorcycle driven often it makes sense to use Star Tron during the summer only if you are concerned about accumulated water in your tank due to condensation or other factors. Constant use of Star Tron will ensure any water is broken into tiny droplets that can pass through the fuel system and be harmlessly eliminated.

In you live in a very humid area or near a large body of water this may be a concern. If you live in a warm, dry area I wouldn't worry. The only other way water could accumulate in your tank is if the gas station sold you some moisture contaminated fuel. This does happen from time to time but fortunately is relatively rare.

It won't hurt to use Star Tron throughout the year but there may be little benefit. I use it every five tanks fills or so.

I use Marine Stabil in ever time I fill the tank in all my cars, Spyders, and lawn equipment in the summer. In winter I use regular Stabil for storage. In the summer heat the gas can start to go bad in a week and in a Spyder, due to the high temp in the tank, start to go bad sooner. I read that in a RV magazine where they did testing equipment with gas tanks less 10 gal. It costs about 5 cents a gal. and for that price I don't take any chances. Also use 89+ octane gas. That's IMHO.

RPMs on my RT were surging a bit. Added Startron and in a 15 min ride the motor smoothed right out. Got some on my hands which I rubbed by mistake on my scalp. Next day I HAD HAIR! My hands no longer had Arthritus! A week later my wife said I look ten years younger! It's a miracle!! Now I no longer need eyeglasses and I can play the violin, one handed!:roflblack:

Don't scratch your butt with that hand.
