I'm thinking of getting a large gasoline tank, enough for two or more
years
of use. Looking at the stabil product, they claim increasing fuel life
(in
an engine) to 15 months.

Are there other things to increase fuel life? For example, will storage
at a
constant 45 degrees help? What problems will old fuel cause?

Occasional agitation is recommended. Not violent, just enough to "mix" it
a bit. Stuff separates into "layers", (due to specific gravity differences
of the components) when it sits still, like in a barrel, and is difficult to
recombine. Farm uses, where there is an occasional take-some-out,
put-some-in seems to keep stuff stirred moderately well.

Although separation is far less significant in 100LL Aviation gasoline.
nobody seems to know exactly why, in this case.
