Fuel stabilizers are a stop gap measure; todays fuels contain up to 10% ethanol which is not good for old engines and engine components, especially rubber parts.
In recent conversations with my local small engine shop, they actually reccommend the use of high octane fuels only. I believe Shell is one of the only companies that offers non ethanol fuel in their high grade. There is also a website which shows a province by province list of stations offering non ethanol fuels.
Alternatively, many guys in the US are using aviation gas in their engines, especially for off road vehicles such as bikes, Mules, jeeps etc.
