So I'm assuming that to stabilize fuel you would be somewhere between "shock treatment" i.e. a full can in a tank, and a regular fuel treatment of a couple of ounces in the tank. Would you figure about 1/3 to 1/2 can for a tank to stabilize fuel for winter storage? (not cold winter, garage temp no lower than 40 degrees F.) What ya figger?

As per directions on the can, 1oz per gallon for stabilizer. For winter storage a lot of folks will run a tank of gas mixed with 5 -8 oz's of SeaFoam before the last fill up and then 5oz's of Sea Foam, also, you can turn off your petcock and run the bike for a minute or two (not dry) before you kill it taking about 1/2 the gas out of the float bowl so it doesn't sit all winter.

What is your from/too dates there? I'm at about the same latitude as you and I store mine Dec - March. But I'll pull it out and ride if we get several nice days in between.
