I didn't use Stabil or anything. I have 11 small engines and old Corvair and 
two vehicles. I have never used Stabil untill a couple years I tried it. I 
found it did not make any difference. I never drain the fuel It is not 
necessary and can rust the insdes of engine parts by being humid.

I'm with Ed, but mostly from laziness.  I have so many little engines, some 
of which are used only occasionally, that I gave up draining them.  Instead 
I keep stabil in my gasoline all year round.  The only one that gives me 
trouble is an old Mantis, which I get going by taking off the air filter and 
putting my thumb over the air intake (the choke is not sufficienct), 
sometimes pour a little gas directly thru the intake.

  I have several rototillers and mowers that I use a lot. In the fall I 
fill the tanks with gasolene and stabil, then run them for a while to get 
the new mix all the wat through the engine. I have been told that this is 
preferred to draining the tank, because it prevents some seals from drying 
out. I use the same process on the snow blower in the spring.
