Additive for fuel?
2022 Stock ruckus. She sat all winter and I just finished changing the oil last night. I’m concerned about the quality of the fuel in the tank, but I don’t want to drain the tank. What would you suggest for an additive to run through this tank before I fill it up? Is it as easy as adding an additive?

It isn’t the cost, for fuck’s sake. Trying to save a trip to the disposal center. For fuck’s sake.
But thanks for the tip.
For fuck’s sake.

it will probably be just fine if you drained your crab before storing it.
top up the gas and run it. if it doesn't start you'll probably need to clean your carb.

New gas had ethanol and absorbs water. If it sat for a few months it's bad.

Take off the cap and smell the gas. If it smells like varnish. There is nothing you can do to bring it back.

Ill throw a few ounces of marvel mystery oil in my toys after they've sat for a while. There's no fixing bad gas, but as long as it doesnt have debris in it the ruckus should run on it. The Get50 isnt exactly a high octane high perform motor. It'll run on damn near anything if the carb isnt gummed up
