a lot of times it can be fairly easy to get water in the tank and so on. So just as a precaution i figured every now and then i would put something in to try and keep water out. But i have heard that Dry gas can be really bad for a snowsled engine. What would you guys suggest that i put in?
Thanks

I put just a little Sea Foam carb cleaner in my tank. It's a carb cleaner but I think it's also supposed to "dry" the gas out. I usually only put additives in in the spring though...unless I'm very suspect of bad gas.
Get a pump and pump it out once in a while and pour it back in through a funnel that separates water from gas. Thats what I do at least.

rubbing alcohol from drug store is what is recomended for a 2 stroke machine. Maxdlx

I store my machine with a full tank of gas so condensation does not form. I also store machines indoors where there is less of temperature change.

first siphon the water out then use isopropal alcohol only donot use any bought at a drug store because it contains 30 percent water buy it auto parts type store donot use dry gas as it is not copatable with 2 stroke

maxdlx, At what rate do you mix the rubbing alcohol?

ask for 99% isopropanol at the drugs store counter and then it doesn't contain 30% water but rather less than 1%... about 300 ml to a full tank of gas and keep tank full before bringing it inside...

Would there be a concern w/heads shaved .010?

not at all familiar with modded engines of any sort so anyone who knows might want to chime in here... 300ml is like 2/3 of 1 percent (.0067) of the total fuel tank volume..... perfectly ok for stock sleds.... mods????
