I would put the Stabil in first when the tanks are empty. When you fill it, it will mix in the left tank first and than transfer over to the right tank afterwards.
If you have a full gas and than dump the stabil in, the fuel in the right tank wouldn’t get treated.
1oz of stabil treats 2.5 gallons. The C6’s tanks hold 18 gallons.

Stabil is a 1 oz per 10 gallons during the driving season & 1 oz per 5 gallons ratio during the storage season. Add the Stabil with FRESH fuel, it won't help with fuel that's been in your tank for months

Again, with the way the fuel transfers, your not gonna get anything in your right tank if you just dump it into your full tank.

Yep. Just put mine up for the winter. The bottle says exactly 1 Ounce per 2.5 gallons. Red bottle.
And apparently the OP can't read bottles. LOL And also doesn't know math. That comes out to a little over 7 oz of Stabil.

OP has two options: Let it go, odds of it having any negative effects are small.
Or, continue to drive it til you get below 1/2 tank, then do per above. Don't know where you're located but I'm in upstate NY and I haven't put mine away yet. We will have some nice days yet before the salt trucks go out.

Been storing cars for over 40 years now, have never used Stabil or any similar product. Never had any issue with starting come spring. Cars or mowers or snow blowers or edgers or, you get the idea. My two cents.
