Filling the tank keeps moisture from absorbing into the fuel, which is good but not an end-all.
Some stabilizers will cancel effects of ethanol, some only stabilize the fuel from turning to varnish. Read the labels and be sure to select a stabilizer that includes ethanol treatment.
Ethanol will EAT the metal in your generator's carburetor float bowl. Nasty stuff for small engines, all courtesy of corn lobbyists and government subsidies we've come to love. I try to run my generator at least every 2 weeks regardless where it sits.
