Winter fuel stabilizer

The salt season is approaching. I was wondering what you guys
use to stabilize your fuel for the winter. I have heard that gas is only
good for a couple of months, I'll have my truck parked for longer than that.

Thanks, Murph.

stabilize added to fuel work's very good and does not hurt the performance. Also It,s best to start your motor up and run it a few min's. (once in a while) and if you have a auto trans put it in reverse then in drive to keep tranmission oil up around parts. Don't forget to be sure your antifreze is good too. Some for get that antifreeze can brake down after a few years. (could start rusting in side). A small batt. charger that can be plunged in all the time work's to keep your batt. up. It,s not good for the batt. to let it go low.
