I've got a place that will require a lot more OPE, so in the future I will go through Stabil a little more quickly.
Literally years. I bought a big bottle and use maybe 15-20 gallons of gas a year. As mentioned, no fuel issues in 2 or 4 stroke equipment, including seldom used stuff and stuff that has sat with fuel in it over winters.
Keep it sealed tight, keep oxygen out, and there's not much to worry about imo. Especially if you'll be using it faster in the future.
I suspect the fuel life extension diminishes as the active ingredients get consumed from atmospheric oxygen. But hrs the longer you're truly trying to stabilize fuel for? A few months over the winter? You don't necessarily need the full stability life.
TWO years is literally years (ok, the bare minimum, granted.) Do you happen to know how many years, approximately? I can see a margin of error being added, and the stabilization likely being good for 3-4 years for an infrequently-opened container, but it would stuck to add something that literally adds nothing to the longevity of the fuel.
I mentioned recently that I ran year-old+ gas in my WEN generator without issue (just burned up the last of it over the past few nights, actually, without issue.) That gas was stabilized with the subject Stabil.

I did a little more than that, actually. I dosed 2 oz for 2 gal. I plan to add it to the generator and run it through the carb tomorrow. I'm sure everything will be fine. I'll likely use up the gas within 6 months, even if the generator isn't needed for any power outages.

Not a bad idea since I heard cops have a radar detector detector and soon we will combat with a radar detector detector detector.
