I personally do not use Stabil. I have seen things about it that I do not like. I start the engine to rotate the fuel in the carb and the fuel lines. I have yet to have any issues with plating out of the gas or any sludge issues in my fuel lines. My truck is usually in the garage for about 3 to 3 1/2 months each year and then it is on the road again. I also make sure that the tanks are full, so that there is very little air space in them to gather condensation. My garage never gets any colder than about 65 degrees.
