Default Red Line Fuel System Cleaner

Does this stuff work as a fuel stabilizer for long term winter storage?

It is the best fuel system and fuel injector cleaner by far, and it is an upper cylinder lubricant as well. It is one of the few products in a bottle that actually work. I don't think it is much of a fuel stabilizer though, I would just use Stabil for that. I swear by Redline fuel injector cleaner one bottle per year - one bottle does 2 tanks on the S2000. When I took my head apart on my ap1 it didn't have a single deposit on the intake valves or anywhere in the intake ports, it literally looked brand new after 16 years of use.

I have never done this, with our cars only holding 12 gals

One bottle of Redline treats 2 tanks the size of the S2000, given the small size of the fuel tank on the car. You can use a full bottle too or stretch out if needed.

It has the highest concentration of PEA , same form of additive Shell uses in its V-power fuels. It is also an upper cylinder lubricant, so the portion of the intake valves that extend through the intake ports get lubricated which I think can be of some benefit.
