Fuel stabiliser

Just bought a litre of Mannol benzine on offer from an ebay seller. About 11 pounds. Maybe it will do what it says or maybe snakeoil. Supposed to leave an oily surface on fuel systems to prevent ethanol corrosion. It may reduce the fuel tank rusting although for many years now, i have been adding a little 2 stroke oil.
It might be a good product from Germany. I already use Mannol fully synthetic engine oil as it is a very good price.

Benzine is carcinogenic, but I suppose it`s ok as long as you don`t drink it.

You’re probably thinking of benzene.

Despite using fuel stabiliser over winter, the pilot jets on the H2 needed clearing out, this was the cause of my poor running issues I had.

Perhaps I did not add enough to the fuel, or it was snake oil, or the already had crud in them from the previous year.

A lot of folk says it's good stuff so I guess not snake oil.

If you are after octane booster - this stuff has a good reputation, probably cheaper to add to E10 rather than buy E5.

The premium fuel at Shell is good for the T120r. I lowered the compression a little when i fitted the 750 kit. It also works well on the 11.to 1 cr on the BSA. I am going to put it in and see if it has any good effect although i get no car clogging at all with the Amals on both bikes. It might be the same stuff as the Redex injector cleaner i have been using

Just put in an egg cup full of two stroke oil to a tank full.

Depends on the size of your egg cup
