Gasoline goes sour (degrades) by two different processes... evaporation of volatiles and oxidation.
A gasoline stabilizer slows down, but cannot stop the oxidation process by utilizing antioxidants, it cannot reduce the evaporation of volatiles.
Ethanol treatments are snake oil...
A gasoline stabilizer may extend the storage life of gasoline depending on the condition of the gas when the stabilizer is added and the storage conditions.
Ethanol treatments are snake oil...
Ethanol is a gasoline oxygenate, it reduces the storage life of gasoline by increasing the rate of oxidation (see reformulated gasoline).
Ethanol blended gasoline already contains more stabilizers right from the pump than any other gasoline in history.
Ethanol treatments are snake oil... if they had any provable value they would already be in the fuel.
