I throw in a bottle of Techron once a year. Can't hurt.

I don’t think fuel additive is going to do anything for you after the fact for a stored vehicle. I mean you could throw some fresh fuel in to mix in, but other than that check the oil, check the battery, check brake fluid, check coolant. Take a close look around the engine bay for any evidence of critters since it was outside. And if all looks good, start it up. I would let run for a good 10 min or so and then drive to your mechanic for a more in depth looksee. KISS. My father used to say that.
