My lawnmower repair service says otherwise, and I can almost believe them. You
should add fresh Stabil every so often, more frequent than every 12 months.
It's
cheap insurance when you consider the cost of a carb repair.

products
like Mercury Quick Silver Cleaner, than I do in Stabil, although I still
use
Stabil in my
lawnmower gas. Maybe using both will be helpful.

A couple of claims from the Sta-bil website:

"STA-BIL stops the formation of varnish and prevents corrosion."

"One ounce of STA-BIL Fuel Stabilizer will keep 2-1/2 gallons of fuel fresh
for 12 months. Using twice the recommended dosage will keep fuel fresh for
up to 24 months."
