Imperialists,
The reason for the pint of dry gas/gasline
antifreeze to the tank regardless of the season (I pride myself on at least ONE
ride per month which can be challenging here in New England) is that regardless
of the fact I go out of my way both fiscally and physically to use Major Brand
fuel only and the highest octane to boot , here that would mean Mobil, Exxon,
Gulf and Shell predominantly, and despite my best efforts, and theirs' they will
tell you, somehow my Sedan Turq (named for the color) always seems to know when
water has entered the system if even only in the minutest amounts. Now
call me cheap (and anal my wife will chime in, and I do not care when it comes
to the Imp!), but at 33 cents per bottle per 20+ gallon tank, to me it ensures
at least some additional level of purity to the fuel which has been transferred
under MANY temperature conditions before it hits the pump, Quality Control
for Corporate be d******.
I did this before and now I continue despite
the fact I replaced and flushed every fuel line and had the tank RENU'ed this
winter. I just find this makes her response better and when I am forced to
"gut" her a little, as in manifold gaskets or secondary springs for the carb
(winter stuff revealed) , the proof is in the top end and within my
carb...............80,000 and smooooth.................
Respectfully All,
ybshore
