Quote from the dreaded Wicki P "Vinegar is a liquid consisting mainly of acetic acid (CH3COOH) and water. The acetic acid is produced by the fermentation of ethanol by acetic acid bacteria."

So, as you can see the added ingredient of 'petrol' may turn to vinegar in your tank like an opened unfinished bottle of Beaujolly! I know, that's anathama to many on this site! 

So the fuel diamond may be killing the bacteria?

Sorry Chris, I'm not familiar with this product, but a mate who works at chainsaws and similar for a living swears by a Briggs and Stratton fuel stabiliser, that he also uses in his bikes.
Personally, all I ever do if I'm laying up a bike for a bit, is drain the tank, then suck the remainder out by using a tube on a vacuum pump, then leave petrol cap off for a bit, to allow anything left to evaporate. Also drain carbs. Sounds a lot of hassle, but only really takes a few minutes.

Me too - Also drain the carb bowl!

I've used a fuel stabilizer for the last couple of winters in my 'best' bike and after both winters the bike started first push of the button in the sprng. Of course, it may have done so anyway, and I know a lot of people think fuel additives are snake oil.
