I live in the northeast and I will be storing my car outside but intend to drive it at least twice a week. Do you recommend that I add Techron ProGuard since it is being stored outside during the winter. Also should I add a fuel stabilizer (any particular brand). It's a 2007 roadster.

Thanks for any suggestions.

 

I use Seafoam and sta-bil

 

You will be driving it, so it is not being stored, adding some gas through out the winter will be just fine. We are sold too much stuff to shove in the gas, if it was really necessary the gas companies would put it in.
If you were storing it with summer gas in it then I would add the stabilizer.

 

I have learned to believe in Sta-Bil. I filled my car up and put sta-bil in it last week, cause I suspected the car would be sitting for some time. And I was right: the weather has turned to (our version of) winter AND I hurt my back and cannot drive the car or the Ranger any distance until I get better.

My dad had an awful time getting his snowblower running every fall. When he died, I got the blower... and never had a problem getting it started because I am a faithful Sta-bil user. I kept it four years after he was gone... sold it, of course, when I moved down here!

 

No need if you drive it at all.
Just keep the tank as full as possible to avoid condensation in the tank.

 

I have an outboard motor and I have not used it for twenty two years or so. It is a two stroke and I still use the last batch of fuel for it in a Whipper Snipper I have had for six or seven years. It works fine, I drain the Snippers tank and carb every fall and have had no trouble with it not starting on this twenty odd year old gas/oil mix. Nothing added to the gas, just the oil, gotta prove something.
My snow blower has the fuel left in the tank every year, I drain the carb bowl and fog the cylinder but that's it, its twenty five years old.
This is making me feel old I'm gonna shut up.

 

That's fine, 180. But as I often say, "If I can't learn my MY life experiences... I can't learn."

There is nothing like experience from your own life.

 

It is my understanding that the gas companies already put something in the gas to keep it from breaking down. I think the amount they put in depends on the season. Sta-bil is still suggested.

The real problem here is keeping the gas from going bad inside the fuel injectors. Don't use a chemical specifically used for cleaning the injectors unless your plan is to burn the gas tank down and actually clean the injectors. Instead use something that prevents the gas from breaking down by using something like sta-bil.

 

Bad back, was that the date last night?
The best thing is to learn from other peoples mistakes, that way you do not make them yourself.
The worst thing to leave gas is in carbs, it evaporates and leaves a sticky gum.

 

I'll be starting mine every once in a while, but I still add Sta-Bil and a bottle of gas line antifreeze to each tank.

 

Mines parked for the season. I start it at least once a month during the winter. I put Stabil in as it really isn't that much money for the security it provides.

 

I still use Sta-bil but a motorcycle mechanic of more than 25 years that I know very well said he had used Sta-bil in his motorcycles several years ago and just as a test to see if it works he took apart his carbs in the spring an found the fuel sitting in the float bowls to have gummed up significantly.
He swears Sta-bil is useless and ya could get the same results if you pissed in the tank.
I will always remember this story but as I said I still continue using Sta-bil anyway in my motorcycle and the Crossfire although on the cycle I drain the carbs and the Crossfire is out as often as possible even in the winter as long as the roads are dry.
