STA-BIL Storage vs. STA-BIL 360 Protection: What’s The Difference? | Chemist Corner

Turn the music OFF

I was expecting the amber to work better lower grade fuels that have ethanol added, but it sounds like it doesn't. Is amber a competitor for STP?

I always wondered the difference between the current Sta-bil 360 Protection and the predecessor Sta-bil 360 Performance with Vapor Technology?

What about the blue? We have no ethanol here, but tis a boat.

What if i want to test a generator once a month, but need to store the fuel in a 5 gallon tank? Is it just best to use the red version?

Really appreciate this video and your responses to questions! Thanks!

Does your product contain Polyetheramine ?

Is there any benefit to using both or is this not recommended? (for car storage over winter)

I have a ram truck with the 6.4 hemi. It runs somuch better on ethanol free gas. I generally get 1-2 mpg better just running ethanol free gas. If I add the stabil 360 directly into the tank will it make the standard pump gas act like ethanol feee gas? Or is that not made for what I’m explaining?

You rushed what could have been an informative video! I still have lots of questions after watching this nearly useless video... FAIL!

if I turn on my motorcycle and inhale the fumes by accident with I be at risk of cancer

Does the Stabil 360 expire or get old? I have some in my shed but don't know how long it has been there so have not used it in my zero turn.

Is Sta-Bil 360 catalytic coverter and O2 sensor safe?

I believe in this stuff because it works. It has never failed me or my engines.

What would be the best stabilizer for a motorcycle (not sure about the tank material) that is kept as an art piece but it would be started once a month or so? (But no riding just idling) just to prevent the issues with the ethanol and moisture/corrosion?
Stabil storage or 360?
Also is it better to just put a bit of treated gas in the tank (and add when needed) or fill the whole tank with the treated fuel?
In the video your expert says that the storage should be put directly in the fuel tank and the 360 in the gas can for small equipment.
So in my case the good one is the “storage” would you put it in the gas can and mix it or directly in the tank? Thanks

I have a new John Deere riding mower coming tomorrow. Typically I would run the tank and the carburetor dry for the winter. The dealer tells me at the last mowing to top the gas tank up completely to illuminate condensation then add 360 in it, which would be circulated through the carburetor. Would there be any harm in adding extra 360 over the recommended amount such as may be double?

I used the Red in my gas generator that I keep for power going out in storms and the fuel has been in it for five years and still works. Still going to replace it with new fuel this year but was very impressed with this product and will be using it again.

Hey Mike, my weekend car is an '18 Porsche 911, which is not driven very regularly. I usually fill up the tank, and sometimes I can go up to 3 months with the same gas in my car. Unfortunately, I can no longer find ethanol-free gasoline where I live. Will STA-BIL 360 help protect my car? Thanks

Is STA-BIL available in Europe?

I used Sta-Bil storage once in my 87 Grand Nat’l and 70 Z28. In the Spring both cars had difficulty starting. Without use they both fire right up. 😮

My gas tends to get gummy and crystallize in the carburetor when I use this stabilizer. Should I be draining the carburetor anyway even when using this product?

I have air cooled Porsche vehicles rarely drive and I put in ethanol-free fuel in them -- is the storage good for that?

Hi Mike, I've used STA-BIL storage for years along with ethanol free fuel to power all my small engines with great results ( I used it every time I filled up, not just for storage). However, the ultimate test will be in the following years since legislation require all fuel sold in Canada to contain ethanol as of 2022. The instructions state that 30 ml of the product treats up to 9.5 l of fuel which suggests that you might want to use more. Can I double the dose and use 60 ml to treat 9.5 l of fuel ? Might there be any harm in doing so ? Thanks for the informative video

local walmart only carries red so no need to pick :D

I keep 3, 5-gal containers of fuel in my garage all the time but cycle them through our SUV about every 3-4 months. I live in Florida and the containers are preparation for a hurricane emergency where gas might become unavailable. I cycle them so the gas doesn't go bad. I could see a scenario where the gas might have to sit for more than 4 months. Our garage is hot and humid - it's South Florida. The gas is usually 10% Ethanol, I fill the cans to the top and keep them air tight. With all that going on, which Sta-Bil product would you recommend, if any. I would also like to keep some Sta-Bil in my emergency pantry (inside the house) for a potential SHTF event that lasts considerable longer than 1 year (there's a little prepper in me). Thanks for any tips.

If my gas is continually treated with 360 when in use why does it need the storage version when I put the car away in winter?

I accidentally used 360 to store my generator gas.. will that work OK or do i need to add the staybil storage product?

I use STA-BIL 360 in my motorcycles and powersports fuel. Now with this 15% ethanol happening, it's even more important to protect with 360.

I have used StaBil red and Pennzoil Synthetic two stroke engine oil in the one gallon gas tank I use for my old Sears two stroke snow blower for TWENTY YEARS.
I don't empty the tank after the winter season because I like to crank the motor up every two or three months to run it to lubricate the whole inside of the engine and reseal it.
I run it a little rich on the Pennzoil and maybe a little rich on the Red Stabil but she smokes while shes cold and then cleans right up when she gets hot.
Sounds like a demented chainsaw blowing the snow.
Now,I am thinking of buying a carbuerated Yamaha Star 650 motorcycle that are known for the carbs getting gummed up by ethanol.
The Stabil 360 ethanol treatment will go in every tank even if I find some no ethanol gas.

I've used the original one and the two stroke for years and I didn't start my push mower for 3 years and when I did start it it only took two pulls to start, I put the two stroke in my tiller and outboard motors and have never had a problem, love your products

i blend e 85 in my 94 toyota 3gallons at a time, gas is 5.00 now, e 85 is 3.35 in Berkeley- i always use 2 oz every tank of stabil 360 . No worries at all, keeps my injectors/ plugs clean

If I understand your video, the red product is used for storage, and the amber product is used for ethanol fuels and daily use. So, a few questions-
The amber product is not best for long term storage, correct?
The amber product says to use specifically for ethanol. So I assume the red is is not the best choice for ethanol fuel?
What would be the best choice for both ethanol fuel AND long term storage?
And finally, how does the blue/green product factor into the equation, beside the fact that it indicates for marine use? Is the blue/green product best for storage or daily use? Thanks in advance.

how to bring in my small country thus product
state - Kosova
capital city - pristina i wish we can do thit is what so many people need

Did he say they both do the same exact thing

I use the storage stabilizer gas did not last four months

You forgot about the diesel product

WHY DON'T YOU SHOW AN HONEST DEMONSTRATION? TALK IS CHEAP!!!

Which would be best for generator fuel since it can be long periods between power outages? Hopefully.

What is the difference with the blue Marine product. Perhaps it is the same and the blue color is a marketing ploy but if there is a difference I want to know because the boat environment is not really different than other environments as far as moisture etc. In particular I am looking for a stabilizer that is made for non ethanol gas.

Sta-Bil MAY help "minimize" corrosion but it WILL NOT eliminate it.

J already have 360 marine blue.
Can I just use that for my lawn equipment gas?

What is the shelf life of both the red and amber. I have a bottle of red that has been in my garden shed for about 6 years.

I am running E50 in a cobra mustang fuel tank hat that has aluminum, solder (60 lead / 40 tin) and copper materials in it. Which of the 3 is best to resist copper and solder corrosion?

Seafoam there ya go

Because of the pandemic my industry is in temporary shut down, I'm on unemployment so I had to make some personal budget cost cutting decisions in order to get through this rough time. I decided to switch my car to parked car insurance, and move it to the parking pad (living through winter in northern Canada). I've purchased the Sta-Bil Storage and a MOTOPOWER trickle charger. I plan to turn the engine on for 5 minutes and roll the car forward and back on the parking pad for the tires every few days. Does anyone have any other advice I can follow? I have no experience with cars, I've been watching all the videos and reading all the how-tos I can. I just need to keep my sweet baby car alive through the winter until my job comes back and I have the finances to drive her every day again!

I've been using this for many years and it's well worth it, An ounce of prevention !

SCHOOL ME ! if i use 360 and doubble the dosage will i get the same result as the storage product?

Completely uninformative. Try keeping your eyes open when you talk.
