I've use Sta-Bil each winter and have not had problems.

I use Sta-Bil in a full tank of fuel, tires up to 40 psi, and forget the jack stands. A fresh oil change is also a good idea, though I may skip that this year since I only put 300 miles on the car since the change last spring. I buy a tub of moisture absorber and put it in the storage garage. I remove the battery, lower the windows a bit, and cover it with a light car cover. (I may leave the windows up this year in case of rodents.) Every 3-4 weeks, I visit the car and pump the brakes.
