So yeah, me too on the Seafoam.
5 men's opinions.
Of course, with one estrogen-based dissenting comment, we're all wrong. :shhh:

I use Seafoam whenever I lay stuff up for storage. Been using it for years without issue. Here in the Great North Wet we have the option for ethanol free gas, however none of the stations I frequent carry it. I just rotated my stored gas this weekend and refilled the cans with Cheveron 91 and Seafoam.
I had been using Stabil until a couple years ago when I must have gotten ahold of an old bottle and it made my bikes, mowers, etc. "pop and crack" so I switched to Seafoam and not issue one!...Meijers has it on sale occasionally for about $6 or so and I get a few at a time..Advance Auto had them on "Sale" the other day for $8....so I stick with Meijers.....Best stuff around in my humble opinion....Ride safe
What I meant to say (but didn't) is that a full tank is better than a half full tank, and it's usually much easier to top up a tank than empty it. The reason for completely filling up is that a half filled tank leaves a large surface area of fuel exposed to air within the tank itself. Having more fuel in contact with moisture laden air can increase the amount of water that gets absorbed by the ethanol. In a full tank, with the fuel near the filler neck, there's less surface area in contact with the atmosphere.
It probably makes little difference when storing a bike for a few months, but it can be a real problem for power equipment stored for longer periods of time, and especially boats stored in or near water. Luckily nearly all marinas sell pure gasoline instead of corn juice.
Agree. Always store topped off for reasons stated above. Plus it's just good combat preparedness.
