Smile Diesel Stabilizer question...

So I came across a LOT of good diesel this week. A tank was going away at a job site and I got permission to pump out as much as I could but only had 1 evening to do it. Me and a buddy got 1000gal out, 500 for Him, 500 for me. I have it in 55gal drums, sealed, and in a insulated shed. Already got a pump with a good filter before it goes in my truck. My question...

Is Sta-Bil Diesel Formula Fuel Stabilizer good stuff to use? Is there better stuff out there? If I treat it all now, should I treat it again later? How often? I really don't drive my truck THAT much but would like the fuel to last. THANKS!!!

Here is the stuff we use at one of the companies I drive for... Though it would have been better to treat the fuel barrels BEFORE filling the barrels.

That's like hitting the diesel fuel lottery! The only thing you really need to worry about is alge and fungus ^so power service should work great, just mix it to correct dosage and enjoy you're find! I wish I could get ^so lucky!
