Still trying to pick a good 2-stroke oil to meet my needs. This looks to be a good one but is it ok for the oil/gas mixture to sit in gas tank for extended periods of time? (3 wheeler will sit for months at a time). Does it have anti-corrosion additives? orignally I bought klotz supertechniplate but than found out you can't let it sit in the 3 wheeler or it can rust the tank/engine.

Synthetic oils are not good for long term storage. They have an acidic property and can attract moisture. Actually if you let the bike sit that long you should drain the gas or add a fuel stabilizer or you will get varnish and clogged carb jets.

Hmm, what about if I make it a point to just go out and run it for a few minutes every week or two?

I just bought some "STA-BIL" fuel stabilizer @ Lowes. If I add the appropriate amount to each tankfull will that do the trick?
