Some (perhaps all??) gas stabilizers contain chemicals that the rubber
seals in the fuel systems of some of our older British car may not
care much for. I'd check into this first. Probably you're just as well
off keeping the tank topped off. I'll send you a copy of the storage
article I transcribed from the SHELBY AMERICAN a couple of years back.
BTW, running your car for a few minutes every few weeks or so is NOT
a good idea.
