When the season ends and your vehicles and equipment are about to take a break, it is crucial to decommission them properly. We show you how to prepare your vehicle and equipment engines for a smooth start to the new season.

Every year it’s the same: The motorbikes, convertibles and summer vehicles such as vintage cars go into well-deserved hibernation. Even the lawnmower and other motor-operated garden appliances get a break. A problem with “winter sleep”: corrosion in the system due to condensation in the tank or oxidation as well as aging of the fuel. The latter leads to start-up problems in the new season, while the former can lead to serious consequential damage and expensive repairs.

With gasoline stabilizers, these problems are a thing of the past. The modern, ash-free combination of active ingredients has preservative and material-protecting properties that are formulated according to the latest, state-of-the-art additive and fuel technology. These additives are suitable for all 4- and 2-stroke gasoline engines.

It's easy to use: 25 ml from the dosing device conserves 5 L of fuel. Before decommissioning, add the corresponding amount to the tank and let the motor run for approx. 10 min. As a result, the preserved fuel is distributed throughout the entire system and you can start right back up again the next season.

Tech tip

Recommendation for use before wintering: Ride through the second to last tank of fuel with Motorbike 4T Bike-Additive to clean the entire fuel system and fuel treatment system, in particular the nozzles. Then add Motorbike Gasoline Stabilizer in a dosage of 5 ml per 1 l of fuel to the last tank of fuel before putting into storage. Perfect mixing occurs during the ride, distributing Motorbike Gasoline Stabilizer to the entire fuel system. Handy hint: Also empty the float chambers on carburettor engines so that the floats do not fill up while in storage!

Unwanted bacteria in the tank? Diesel bugs? Clogged diesel filters?

Biological contamination in fuel can lead to serious damage to engines and systems. But don't panic, LIQUI MOLY has the solution. We explain everything you need to know about diesel bacteria.

Long-lasting protection for boat engines

Many boat owners often face the same problem: The boat is stationary for a long period of time. If you are not careful, this can quickly become expensive for diesel engines. We will show you what the reasons are and how to remedy the situation.
