CRC says "Stor & Go" is better than the others.
Have not seen this before. Any one used this ?
Thanks
Like Dawg said - it's a religious thing :)... Pick whatever you believe in. I used both Seafoam and Stabil for storing my ancient carburetor truck for a 10-12 months. With 30-40% full tank. Sometimes with the same gas for 2 years, sometimes replacing old gas and 'foam after a year, sometimes adding fresh gas to partially used old gas (and then adding more 'foam too). Didn't notice any difference. Never let it sit without movement for more than a year. Never keep old gas for more than 2 years without at least partially diluting it with a fresh gas.
Rust and other climate-related deterioration was giving me more pain.
In little outboard motor I just drain the carb dry when storing more than 6 months. - AtleeExplorer IIDuring camping and football tailgating season, I don't use any stabilizer, but when I do use a stabilizer, I use Seafoam.
Seriously, during the period I know I will be using the generators a lot, which means using the gas in the gas cans, I don't use any stabilizer. I go through a lot of gallons.
But when I've shut down for the year, I will then put Seafoam in all the can containers and the generator tanks. - HondavalkExplorer IIAnother Star-Tron fan here.

Same here good results in Motorcycles and boats. - MEXICOWANDERERExplorerThey're trying but Pemex insists on a max of 5% and the USA refineries are not ready to custom blend because the fuel comes from multiple US and Japanese refineries.
The price for Magna, which is regular is around $3.35 gallon. In the border area and all of the northern of the 2 baja california states all fuel comes from the USA or Japan. - SidecarFlipExplorer IIIDoes Pemex contain alcohol?
- MEXICOWANDERERExplorerNaptha. White gas. It is incapable of decomposing in the presence of O2
- Itinerant1ExplorerStartron here also seems to do the job.
