A new gasoline fuel stabilizer....
CRC says "Stor & Go" is better than the others. Have not seen this before. Any one used this ? Thanks

Here's how to check a stabilizer using many delineations that a oil company uses.
A metal can to prove or disprove MDA metal deactivator action
Fill the can, perhaps a gallon can 1/4 full. Even a metal pint can would work.
In the screw lid, punch a pinprick hole, meaning pin size to allow the inside to breathe.
Set the can in the sun but at the same time avoid rain, fog or dew. If the can breathes heating/cooling so much the better. A loose cover over the top would work fine.
Then the can has to sit for months. Treated or untreated, it takes time for distillates to transform. Heating and cooling (especially the heating cycle) accelerates the process.
It wouldn't take much to securely place several samples and check several so-called stabilizers simultaneously.
But the containers must be metal. To be picky, zinc galvanizing will make the test more realistic.
I watched these tests at the MTZ refinery lab. There the heating and web bulb values were strictly controlled.
Perhaps use trade stock cheapo station gasoline versus the high price spread, each having one sample of two treated.
This could be an entertaining experiment for someone who has a SAFE place to conduct a long-term test. Perhaps a 3-way shootemup - untreated versus say Sta-Bil versus that CRC product.
Guaranteed, the results of which would be a real eyebrow raiser.
Test odor, sediment and clarity would be the analytic's.
I urge safety-first if doing such a test.
Oh Curious Me :)
