I have stored my Corvettes for the past 15 years with a full tank of fuel and have never added fuel stabilizer. Never had an issue.

At age 70 I have stored a lot of cars and boats for the winter. SOP for me is to put in a good stabilizer and fill the tank. For the cars that comes to 6 months storage and for the boats about 8 months. Works for me!

I've been storing toy cars over the winter for 30 plus year. I have never added stabilizer and never had an issue. I once let my 442 sit for over two years. It started up fine. The gas was a but stinky but I just ran it down and added new fuel. In my opinion people way over think the storage of their vehicles.
