I add Stabil on the last usage and run the engine till the Stabil gets
into the carb.
If its a plastic tank (lawn tractor), I then run the tank and the carb
dry and I figure whatever gas is left in there has Stabil for
protection.
If it's a metal tank (motorcycle) , I close the valve and let the carb
run dry but keep the tank full.
What does Stabil do anyway, anybody know?
The gas must still evaporate which is why I like to let the carb run
dry.

According to them:
STA-BIL is a blend of scientific additives all of which act together to
prevent fuel from undergoing degradation and oxidation during prolonged
storage. STA-BIL acts as a protective wrapper around fuel molecules so
they cannot combine with oxygen or other molecules to form new "bad
actor" molecules.
