Additives

About

Motorcycle fuel additives keep your engine running clean when the bike sits idle or when you need a higher octane charge under load. This range covers Putoline and Ipone fuel stabilisers plus an octane booster, formulated to protect carburettors, injectors and fuel lines through long off-season storage and everyday riding alike. Fuel Stabiliser vs Octane Booster Fuel additives split into two clear jobs. A stabiliser stops petrol degrading during storage, while an octane booster raises the fuel rating for engines that ping under load. Match the additive to the problem you are solving. Additive Primary Job Best For Fuel Stabiliser Prevents fuel breakdown over months of storage Bikes parked 1 to 12 months Octane Booster Raises effective octane number by 2 to 5 points High-compression and tuned engines Why Stabiliser Matters Over Winter Untreated petrol starts oxidising within 30 days and can gum carburettor jets and injectors within 3 to 6 months. A stabiliser added before storage keeps fuel usable, so a bike laid up for 6 months fires within the first 2 or 3 cranks rather than needing a carburettor strip. Fill the tank to roughly 95 percent to cut condensation and internal rust. How to Dose Correctly Always follow the bottle ratio. The Ipone 250ml stabiliser is a concentrated dose classed UN1993 DG3.3 for transport, so store it sealed and away from heat above 30 degrees. Add additive to fresh fuel, then run the engine 5 to 10 minutes so treated petrol reaches the entire fuel system including the carburettor float bowl. For 2-stroke setups, keep additive separate from your premix oil ratio, typically 40 to 50 to 1. Pair fuel care with the right Engine Oil and finish your service with Polish & Wax .

A treated tank typically stays usable for up to 12 months of storage. Untreated petrol can begin oxid
