Always store the bike with the tank FULL any condensation won't rust
the tank but it will contaminate the fuel and I don't know of any
motor vehicle that runs well with water in the fuel. Always treat the
fuel with Stabil, keeps it fresh >>
Red Line makes some stuff called Fuel System Water Remover & Antifreeze. I
quote from the label:
Fuel System Water Remover and Antifreeze is designed to disperse controlled
amounts of water in diesel fuel or gasoline in order to eliminate
contamination and condensation in fuel tanks and to prevent the water from
freezing in the fuel lines or filters - a major cause of engine shutdown or
poor startability in cold weather. One ounce per twenty gallons is
recommended and will disperse one ounce of water in very tiny droplets and
will reduce the freezing point to -5 degrees F (-21 degrees C). More can be
used for greater contamination. Lubricants will lubricate the water and fuel
phases, preventing damage to injectors and pumps. The lubricated water phase
actually provides lower wear than diesel alone. This additional lubricant
will reduce friction sufficiently even in dry fuel to provide diesel engine
efficiency improvements between 2 - 3% based on fleet and dyno tests. Other
water "removal" products use alcohol or glycol ethers to "dry" fuels, but
after several treatments, the water and alcohol still remains.

Sounds like just the stuff for those who have to store their bikes in cold
garages!
