Lucas makes a fuel treatment which is a lubricator/cleaner and they also make a fuel stabilizer. Two different products.
It could be the gas.
If its not fuel related or fuel pump/fuel filter related then other possibilities could be as follows. BTW, fuel filters usually show they are dirty when the vehicle won't perform under load or high speed.

Does the vehicle run if you leave your foot on the gas pedal so the rpm's increase ? If you let off the gas and allow it to return to idle, will it then shut off ? If so, suggest to the mechanic to look into the idle air control valve.
Also:
Ignition modules function in two modes. The start and run modes. During the start mode, the ignition module allows full voltage to the coil(s). Once the engine starts, the ignition switch moves to the run position, the ignition module drops the voltage to the coil(s). If that would occur w/o reducing the voltage the secondary components would burn out in the run mode.
