I would not use sta-bil in glow fuel, glow fuel seems to last for years without it, as long as you keep it out of the sunlight and a controlled temperature enviroment. Also if you read on the bottle of sta-bil, it says for seasonal use. If you used it in a gasoline engine or generator, or some engine that may stand around for two years or longer the gas in the tank or carberator may evaperate, and leave a tar like residue in the fuel pump or carberator.

Staubil oil?? Does it say it mixes with alcohol? Not all two stroke oils mix with alcohol. I use Klots blended oil, it's a synthitc blend with 20% Castor. Only time I ever add oil is if it is under 17% oil in the blend. Why do you need it?Store bought fuel usually does not require added oil. When I was using Wild Cat 16% oil I did add two ounces of the Klotz. I like my oil to be at 18% blended oil.
