Just run a few gallons of 100LL through the engine, and carb, and leave the remaing 100LL in the tank for the winter....Run most of the Ethonal out of the tank first.

OR you could try what I call... "Miracle Grow" ....ie: the latest "Snake Oil" from Benny's.

NOTE: As long as Ethonal engines are RUN every week or so during the season, it may not be a problem. Just store it with 100LL in the carb and tank.
Avgas is very 'dry'. It will scuff your rings and pistons. If you use Avgas make sure you mix Marvel Mystery Oil. I use it in my drag car "Wailin' Wedge".
