A new gasoline fuel stabilizer....

Seems odd that an error checking mechanism could be used to justify one fuel stabilizer over another?

CRC

It actually is a religious determination:

CRC

CRC I find it to be a gas treatment.

CRC makes some good products. Whether this is any better we will see later when it has been around for a while.
CRC stor & go

I'm using Seafoam with no problems, before that used Stab-L with no problems.

From this description it seems to be a product similar to Seafoam.

Marine Srabil here for gasoline, Archoil fuel treatment with biocide for diesel.

Seafoam is a good cleaner for deposits, but, as a phase separation stabilizer, I don't think so. (gasoline)

"CRC", originally named "Corrosion Reaction Consultants", has been around for about 60 years. They supply chemical maintenance and other products to many industries. I've used their brake system and carburetor cleaners for many years, as well as their electrical contact cleaner. I keep a can of their contact cleaner in a rear bay where it's handy for periodically cleaning off any corrosion starting to build up on my toad umbilical plugs and sockets. I don't know if their fuel stabilizer is any better than the others, but I'd feel pretty confident in using it.

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.
