TOPIC:

In my country the gas contain 10% ethanol.
My understanding is that ethanol collect water... and then corrosion in the tank.

Will it be good to add Isopropyl alcohol to remove corrosion issue?

How often?

Some times during the season and last filling before storage of the bike for det winter?

No isopropyl alcohol. Use a fuel stabilizer. Staybil is a popular brand in the USA. Not sure about your part of the world though.

Thank you.

These one ?

How often and how many %?

I use this version...www.fruugo.no/gold-eagle-22239-sta-bil-m.../p-30101972-63135725

Just follow the directions for how much to use.

Do you use it each time?
Or «now and then» and storage?

We have 10% ethanol here too, every once and a while we will get some bad gas that cause the engines to run rough so before I do anything else I will add some Heet to a fresh tank of gas, if there is water in the tank this will remove it.
In my opinion if you are riding a lot you should not need to add anything unless you get bad gas.
At the end of the season I fill the tank , add some Heet and take a short ride before parking it for Winter.
My 2 cents

I've used Heet to clean up suspected water in my fuel and also because alcohol raises the octane of gasoline. However, I can't see how adding more alcohol to alcohol containing fuel would be any benefit when the goal is to stop the fuel from changing phases during storage. In my mind the best storage plan is to be sure that your fuel tank is FULL before storing the bike for the winter, that way the opportunity for water vapor to condense in the tank is minimized.

Exactly. I've owned my KZ650-C1 for 42 years and there is zero rust in the tank. However, I don't let the bike sit without fuel in the tank or let it sit for extended periods without being run. Ed

I have been using this for years, it's not fancy but it works

Etanol 10% in the gas has not been for many years here in Europe. You have had these in the gas in US for many years?

I was just afraid it would make «new» issue with corossion since it working as a swamp, same as brake fluid.

Where I live ethanol (10%) was added to gasoline 30+ years ago. It really is not a noticeable problem except that it slightly reduces the amount of power a gasoline engine generates. There are some fuel lines that are affected by it, but most modern fuel lines are not. Ed

I will only add stabilizer when I store the bike when the season is over and full tank. Cannot do things worse
