Has anyone else tried stabil 360 performance? It says it has vapor technology to get areas where the fuel isn't touching and to use every fill up in small engines.
I'm not sure if doubling the dose will stabilize fuel out to two years like the regular red and blue marine stabil or not, but I went ahead and put a good amount extra in the generator.
Yes, Stabil changed their product line up a year or so ago. Both the Marine360 and 360 Performance claim the protective vapor action, while the Red does not.
Their sales information always has a few mysteries. Like you said, the 360 Performance does not indicate 24 month protection (at 2x rate) like the other two. The Marine Stabil claims to have more cleaner. Since ethanol is already a great cleaner, why would you need more? In their questions section, they claim Red is more for long term storage vs. everyday use of the 360 products.
In the past, I spoke with a Stabil tech and he said both the Red and Marine were effective for ethanol gas and he recommended the marine as the best value (cost per gallon treated). I'm not sure if this still holds true and/or how does the new 360 protection product falls into the line up. It seems to be a marketing ploy, but it is confusing for us tech. geeks.
I sent them an email to see if they can clear up their product line use.
