Yes deffinately put stabalizer in them, it's very cheap insurance from cleaning a green gummy mess out of your fuel system next spring.

Driving for a while after pouring it in is a very important step. It's what keeps the fuel from turning to varnish inside the small passages of the carb or fuel injectors. The stuff going bad in the tank is not as big a deal, comparatively.
