Where did you get that "idea" from?

I've been doing that for about 15 years in all my power equipment, boats, and now my motorcycle. It's never affected running, engine internals, nor mileage. It will help preserve Ethenol which has a relatively short shelf life in that it starts to break down in three months. Ethanol attracts water (like the alcohol you used to put in as Dry Gas to prevent water freeze up in fuel) and will cause tanks to corrode. Stabil will prevent those harmful affects of Ethanol. As an ex auto mechanic (15 years) I don't see a problem with it. All it does is prevent the breakdown of the fuel. It doesn't clean as far as I'm aware.
