Rummy et al.,

Agreed about the tank moisture - I shut off the 
fuel valve and run out the gas in the carb, then 
fill the 2-stroke O/Bs after every use.

On fuel stabilizers -- I add stabilizer and some 
carb cleaner/moisture remover to every mix for 
my 2-stroke engines, and have had no problems 
over the years.

Does anyone else do this, and/or does anyone see 
any problem with these procedures over time?
