What's better for storage - Sta-Bil or seafoam?

Sta-Bil Marine 360 has additional corrosion inhibitors that the Red does not.

Well it certainly looks more "marine like" with its dark color vs the regular! *LOL*

I have never used a stabilizer and so far never has a problem.

Carbs or FI? How long does it sit between running?

FYI, Sta-Bil original red will stabilize gasoline the longest (up to two years). 360 products contain PEA, but stabilize up to 1 year. I asked Sta-Bil the difference and that’s what they told me.

I've used the original red Sta-Bil since the 80's. Never an issue.

In fact I winterized all the sportbikes today. Fresh oil in the sumps, fresh gas in the tanks W/Sta-bil, fresh brake fluid, with Battery Minders hooked up to each, and on front and rear stands.

I took the old big-bore 2 stroke dirtbike out, and did a few wheelies up and down the road. The neighbors love my youthful exuberance...

60 mile ride yesterday on the ZRX 1200. Added Red before the ride, topped off the tank afterward. Put another small shot of stabilizer in afterwards for the added fuel. Goal is to ride once a month (or more) through the winter in Colorado. Not too difficult if the nice days fall on the weekends. Otherwise...

Come January when we get cold and snow on a weekly basis, it could be two or three months before I ride the bike. Turn petcock to prime, tops off the carbs for any evaporated fuel, enrichener to the standard position and the old girl fires up after a few cycles. Red Stabil works fine, the others would work just as well.
