With the federal mandate in place on minimum corn ethanol blend, its not easy to find any place that sells straight gasoline.

What's the difference between the normal red Stabil and this 360 stuff? Both can be used in ethanol or non-ethanol blended fuel according to their labels.
From what I got looking at it quickly:
This (orange): Storage up to 1 yr, 1 oz treats 5 gal @ $0.52/oz
Red: Storage up to 2 yr, 1 oz treats 2.5 gal @ $0.37/oz --> $0.74/2oz to treat 5 gal

The maker GoldEagle says that the Red Storage formula is for storage in vehicles. "Red, put it in the fuel tank, Yellow 360 put it in the gas can" they say in a video.

360 is for gas cans used for engines in daily or intermittent use. 360 extends the life of the fuel and it cleans and protects fuel systems according to the claim.

https://www.goldeagle.com/product...tabilizer/

Cars in storage: Treat fuel in a gas can with Red Storage formula then add it to the tank.

Garden tools and small engines: DRAIN the tank, fuel lines and carburetor bowl instead. Store dry. Why? The passageways inside of small engine carburetors are easily fouled from corrosion and gelling when left wet. Metal fuel tanks rust inside compounding the problem. Rust particles from the tank clog the fuel filter and carburetor. Dry tanks do not rust because they do not collect condensate from the atmosphere. Same with a drained carburetor. If 360 had been used then supposedly extra resistance to rust will carry over to the dry storage. Film from ethanol fuel will not be present.

For those who don't want the hassle but are okay paying for it, if only a bit more, those measure-built-in-bottles are so... so nice. If you're on the fence then do it.

I've had luck using the Marine 360 version in ethanol free gas. My riding mower and snowblower get gas treated with it. So far no fuel system issues with them....

Quote from CyanRaccoon6450 :
Something small like a snow blower and you are better off just draining the gas. It is not worth the $3 in savings to run old gas through it in the spring.

You could add this to the gas that is in the snow blower, run it for 30 minutes (to ensure the treated gas is now in the carb), then drain the tank and the bowl of the carb.

Ethanol becomes a problem when you let it sit in carburetors, especially on small engines. It gunks up the smaller passage ways and blocks them. While simply adding this to the gas in the tank will help extend the life of that gas (in the tank), it's not going where it is really needed (to the gas in the carb).

At the end of the season, I make sure the gas in my snow blower is well treated. I then drain the gas tank, then start the snow blower, let it run til it runs out of fuel and then I drain the bowl of the carb. One could also "fog" the carb with a winterizing lubricant, but I've never found it necessary, and my snowblower is still going strong after 15 seasons.
Quote from Xxxfrogg :
This or some quivalent brand or the red version. Put in gas . Run engine long enough to get in carb. If you have a gas shutoff valve, turn it off while the engine is running and let it run until it dies. Should be good until you need it. Do this yearly.

Note: I do not run ethanol blended gas in any small engine.
Quote from quietjet :
drain your fuel and run out what's left in the carburetor.
thank you my friends! sounds stressful haha

maybe i'll just turn it on, run it til gas run out then hope for the best? don't even know what to do with the gas if i were to drain it

should have went for electric so wouldn't need to think about these things

In for one, just tuned up the 2 riding mowers and usually used seafoam in the past but the 32oz is priced right so we'll give this one a go since it's mowing season for the next 8 months.

I didn't watch the video so I won't say you are wrong (maybe the video made a mistake), but that is incorrect.

The red (original "Storage") should go in your gas can. It is for storage of all fuels for up two 2 years.

The yellow (360) is to be used during fill-ups to I guess remove/reduce the ethanol from pump gas. It can also go in a gas can as it says it is good for a year.

The 360 is more money than the original red, so unless you have a specific need to be putting this in your vehicle with pump gas, the red is the better option in my opinion.

That's what I said G.E. says, mix red in the gas can then put it in the vehicle. Check their site. I don't see any recommendation to add the products directly to the vehicle. Eliminate ethanol? No it can't do that.

Ok, but you said red in fuel tank, yellow in gas can.

https://youtu.be/sxyoNfW30kE Here they show the Red being added directly to a vintage Mustang. Elsewhere they say to mix it in the can first. Red keeps the fuel in the can fresher for longer than Amber. Amber 360 is a fuel system cleaner with anti-corrosion activity. Plastic fuel cans don't rust and do not benefit from Amber 360.

But wait, Westinghouse instructs that the carburetor float bowl is to be drained at 31 days by opening its drain screw. This being extremely easy I drain after every use. Running the engine until it dies does NOT drain the float bowl. https://cdn.westinghouseoutdoorpo...al_web.pdf


Westinghouse: 59 days: Fill the tank as full as possible with treated fuel to reduce air space with treated fuel. ( No thanks I'd rather store the tank dry now than have to return to drain it at 179 days ).

Westinghouse: By the 179th day drain and dry the entire fuel system. DRAIN FUEL TANK. ( no stabilizer allowed ).

Draining keeps the fuel system including the tank in pristine condition. I drain whenever I do not expect to operate for two weeks. The reward is an engine that start with 1/2 of a pull like new even two years later plus a savings on the stabilizer. Not adding stabilizer to the generator is the slickest deal and it yields the best results. Red Sta-Bil is good for storing fuel in the fuel can if you must store fuel. For proof just drop the fuel bowl after you have stored it with a stabilizer for 6 months.

In my experience it's best for those that put their mowers etc up for the winter to run regular 10% ethanol gas till the last use for the season, run that engine till the 10% ethanol gas is used up then add stabil treated ethanol free gas to the engine and run it thru till it runs out (enough gas to run it for 2 to 5 minutes to get that treated no ethanol gas run thru the system) then store it completely dry. Or after running out the ethanol gas you fill the tank completely with treated no ethanol gas and every 2 to 3 weeks go out there and run your equipment for 2 to 5 minutes. Which you do depends on your access to your equipment over winter months. Some people won't go out there 2x a month for 6 months to run their mower etc or park their mower in a shed that they can't get it out to start bc of snow or something so storing it dry is best for them.
Down south I run out the ethanol gas at the end of the season usually November. But we still use the mower and such a little each month in Nov dec Jan feb so I just use treated no ethanol gas during these 4 months for the handful of times we use them, works out fine. We have easy access to no ethanol gas around here so that helps as well. But I use regular ethanol 10% during the spring and summer months bc we use those engines weekly so the gas isn't sitting it's always pretty fresh.
