Default Effect of Sta-bil

What are the effects of using Sta-bil in your fuel for the winter?
Should I run the fuel out before getting into boost for the first time this spring?

I plan on getting a new dyno tune soon with the ECS Alky system, but I have some reservations about using the old fuel.

My car sits in the garage, every year, from Nov 1 thru April 1 and have never used it nor have had any problems afterwards. I only use it in my chain saws!

Having done it both ways I have noticed a difference when I use the Sta-bil.
It could be my imagiation but the car seems to run better sooner when I use it.
I know gasoline does lose some of it's aromatics after about 30 days unless it's kept in proper storage containers that are sealed.

Maybe I'll give it at try next year. It is good stuff, I used it in my boat when I had to store it for 1-1/2 years, started up with no problems first try.

I'd run it dry and then fill up with 94.

I use it in my Harley and have nothing but good to say about product, it works. It's kick start only high comp Iron Head witch can be hard to start under normal conditions for many. But, Sta bil allows for one or two kicks after sitting all winter and runs great.
