So why do so many put Stabil in the fuel tank for storage. Even on an injected motor home. Or people commonly recommend draining the fuel if it has not run for a year.
Because unless you go to the trouble to find, and expense to buy, ethanol free gasoline, the gas has other failings. The ethanol in gasoline is very hygroscopic. It actually attracts moisture out of the atmosphere. Over time, a problematic amount of water can accumulate. The additives also help with moisture in the gas.
The only time gasoline entered the fuel system of anything of mine other than an automobile was when I had my Class C and the generator pulled fuel from the motorhome fuel tank. I only buy ethanol free for lawn equipment or generators. And, even then, I always add Seafoam to it.
