Don't get it on your hands as it soaks in your skin and you cant wash 100% of the nasty smell off. The smell will go away eventually.

General Q & A - Stabil what's really in it ? - I want to know if Stabil fuel additive is nothing more than mineral spirits with some red dye. It sure smells like mineral spirits. Many products that we pay alot for are comprised of inexpensive , common substances and marketed to make huge money...

A lot of the compounds in it are BHT(butylated hydroxy toluene) derivatives. We use BHT a lot in lab chemicals in fairly small amounts to prevent peroxide formation(super dangerous and also easy to happen in things like short-chain ethers).
These compounds act both as a "sacrificial" oxidant and also a radical scavenger, both of which are good things in fuel stored for a long time. Most of Sta-Bil is kerosene, but is used as a solvent for all of the above to make it easy to dispense.

use a combo of stabil and mmo, seems to keep yard machines operating well
^^^I happen to use Sta~Bil & MMO together at the same dosage of each(not cut in half) @ 1oz/2.5gal.
