There was a rumor that STA-BIL was just kerosene, and this is how the company "debunked" the rumor:
"Myth #4: “STA-BIL branded products are just kerosene.”
Here’s our official answer, direct from Chief Chemist and V.P. Of Product Engineering Mike Profetto:
“STA-BIL brand additives use a highly-purified petroleum distillate to deliver our additive package to the fuel. This solvent allows the additives to quickly blend completely into the fuel. The additives themselves would be too concentrated to blend easily, especially in cold weather. Use of more flammable solvents like gasoline would make shipping and storage too dangerous. The addition of the recommended dose of STA-BIL product to fuel has always been safe. Dozens of Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) have confirmed this by testing and recommending our products.”
Huh? They never said "No it's not!"
Anyways, the military uses PRI-G. It's a better value (one quart treats 512 gallons) and at the end of the year it provide protection, you can add another dose and stabilize the gas for another year (allegedly you can do this for many years).
