I have had a carb in lawnmower gumm up in as little as 6 months (without sta-bil). Sta-bil claims to be good for a year.

To prevent rust, it's a good idea to to keep the tank full.
That way, there is less air and less chance of moisture in the air to condense on the inside metal surfaces of the tank. The downside is that by keeping the tank full, it's harder to rotate fresh gas through. It's up to you.
On a car I dont drive, I keep it full with sta-bil and use the electric fuel pump the change the gas about every 18 months.
