People should not fixate on the money. That is only the mechanism by which things are done. No money? Nothing gets done.

Fuel additives are not needed. Only when you are not using the scooter for a long period, you can add a cleaner 1 time.

"Cleaner" is not necessary to running/maintaining/storing gasoline powered machines. Please avoid it. It doesn't fix anything. If your fuel system is so full of contaminants it won't function properly, bottled aromatic Naphtha is not the answer.

Sta-bil, or another brand of fuel "stabilizer" or fuel preservative is what to use when storing with fuel in the machine(up to a year). Add the stabilizer, then fill the tank right up full and run it a few minutes to get that chemical throughout the system. I've been using this method on all my seasonal gas-powered machinery for forty years, now. Hasn't failed me once.
