Just hope it does the trick.

Ive got no problem with that...! my head is pre-programmed for throttle body setup....ie you cant adjust anything unless its plugged into an ODB connection with a laptop on the end...so no, didnt even think about it...more than happy to admit im in the wrong....always learning stuff everyday....been in IT for 25 years and i still get schooled by guys 20 years younger than me and more...even my own kids..!

Me too.
They may be able to sort out why my iPhone doesn’t ring when somebody calls me via WhatsApp (my daughter sorted that out), but could they write an SQL Query?
She would say “ we don’t have to as there are IT nerds who do that stuff. “

Whilst I fully appreciate all the 'plus' points of modern electrickery, I find that it has led to a situation whereby no encouragement is made to younger people to stimulate their brains, just accepting that whatever the machine/computer/diagnostic system displays. About 3 years ago, a friend nearby took his diesel transit to the main dealer as it was running like a stuffed pig. The technician duly plugged in the necessary equipment, and even though the van was shaking like a jelly when idling, the verdict was "No Fault Found", and they were ready to send him on his way. Cannot remember what the problem was, but it was rectified by one of the more senior members of the engineering staff.

FWIW re stabilizer...my understanding is that it is primarily a light oil and its purpose is NOT to mix with the fuel as an additive, per se, but to essentially float to the top of the fuel in the tank, carb float bowls, etc and "insulate it" from the air. With no contact with air, the fuel will essentially remain "as new," at least for quite a long time. Not being a chemist, I certainly can't verify the accuracy of that functional description but I do have a Norton Commando that sat untouched for nearly two years with E10 fuel/stabilizer in the (fiberglass!) tank and the bike started with no trouble. I do know of a guy that claims he uses home heating oil as "stabilizer" and says it works fine. Certainly cheaper... ;)

I don't buy the floats on top theory - I think like 2T oil it forms a eutectic mixture of some sort then chemically resists the degradation using Snake Oil chemistry.
