Guys, maybe I can help a little bit. What we call gasoline is not a single liquid, but a blend of different hydrocarbons. Some with a low vapor point and some with a high vapor point. by refining and blending these various hydrocarbons together, you get gasoline, and the blend gives you the different octane rating (notice I said "rating").
As gas sits for awhile, in a vented tank, the more volatile compounds evaporate off, leaving behind the lessor ones. over time, you will get what old timer mechanic ( like myself) refer to as "varnish". All as gas stabilizer does is bond with the volatile compounds so they dont evaporate as quickly.
So, I use it in my generator, as it is run twice a year if not used other times. If you are using gas over 2-3 months and adding fresh, there is no need for fuel stabilizer IMHO.
