Fuel Storage

I'm not running my '04 6.0 more than 1 x month and am wondering what I need to do to the fuel while it sits. Southeastern PA weather. I'm currently adding DieselKleen grey bottle to fuel . I do not want moisture or algae to form. Fuel will probably last til spring RV season...that's 5 months. What do I have to add to the fuel to keep any/all problems away?
thanks, Larry

With my experience you are asking for trouble only running it once a month. You will be have turbo issue's sooner than later. My .02
