i would use sta-bil
or maybe just add (2) gallons of fresh fuel every month when exercising the genny
will keep it fresh

IF you install an extra tank, what is going to be in the main tank
it will still have ethanol anyway, very hard to get pure gasoline any more

burn some old, then add (2) gallons new fresh fuel
