Fuel additive. Anyone have experience with it? I seldom drive my vehicles and recently had my motorcycle lose power which caused me to coast home. My RCF also sees little use and I'm afraid with ethanol and little use that condensation is likely an issue when a tank lasts for 5 months or more.

Keep the tanks full and use stabil or something similar if you won't use them a lot. Cars are more resistant to issues due to being sealed systems with highly pressured injection systems.

Heet is more of a recovery type item if you know you got water into a tank

Agree with the Stabil recommendation. I use the Marine 360 version for my outdoor power equipment (generator, snowblower, etc) fuel, which tends to sit for a very long time. They claim this variant to be the most effective of their lineup at water sequestration.
