I want "Storage' but also want "Protection" since it has a Metal Tank so need 360. And here in La, we have to have 10% Ethanol in all our gas! Should I get the Stabil Marine 360 that is Blue? Or use the Yellow 360 that says use now and also add Red to store? As in use both I assume they can be mixed? I have Red already but would like the stuff that is for Alky and Tanks as well?

First recommendation is don't store it with any fuel with any ethanol in it. You should be able to find "recreational" fuel somewhere - it's got zero ethanol. Here's a link for the listings for stations in Louisiana - hopefully something near you: https://www.pure-gas.org/index.jsp?stateprov=LA

I keep 3 barrels at hurricane time and then use it in the cars to use it up. 100% gas is 2 to 3 times as much $. I agree with sunroofcuda. Try to find some rec. gas. ( recreational fuel ).

ALL my stuff gets premium pump fuel(e10) and Seafoam. 1 oz/gal. Been doing that for years with zero fuel issues. I don't drain anything. Hell, I ran my weed wacker(Ryobi) half the summer on last years fuel. All my 50:1 2 stroke stuff is mixed out of the same fuel. Chain saw, weed wacker, leaf blower...2 stroke. Tractor, snow blower, pressure washer, log splitter all 4 stroke. Zero issues!!

What are you storing or I should ask how much fuel does the tank hold? Did I miss what you are storing if so sorry. Reason I'm asking is if it is only a few gallons just go to any lawn and garden center and buy a couple of quarts or gallons of canned non-ethanol 92/93 octane gasoline and any Stabil, Seafoam, etc., and mix accordingly. There's True Fuel, VP, and even Stihl Motomix 2-stroke premix non-ethanol at 93 octane, good for a year opened and 3 year shelf life not opened. You should also be able to find non-ethanol marine fuel near any water or marina if you need a larger quantity.

................ I don't drain anything. Hell, I ran my weed wacker(Ryobi) half the summer on last years fuel. All my 50:1 2 stroke stuff is mixed out of the same fuel. Chain saw, weed wacker, leaf blower...2 stroke. Tractor, snow blower, pressure washer, log splitter all 4 stroke. Zero issues!! Same, plus two mowers, two leaf blowers, two outboard motors, and an inboard. I use regular gas for most everything, and I don't add anything. I couldn't imagine even keeping track of what's got what and when. Hell, I've got 12 fuel cans. Pulled my 68 GTS out in June. It sat since November 2015. No fuel additives when it went into storage. It started right and ran fine.
