fuel that has been sitting for a year

My other FD has been sitting for almost a year now, thought i would have rebuilt it by now, but my silver FD has been getting the money for a rebuild and supporting mods for my r85 instead. I just was thinking i need to do something with the fuel before the tank gets rusty or what not. What should i put in it to prevent my tank to go bad. I know the fuel is bad,just don't know if the tank gets damaged. I heard of something that's called stable something. Will that prevent it for now until i drain the tank? What other products should i use or get Do think it might have damage to it now?

You should have added Sta-Bil when it was filled. Don't bother adding it now it won't help.

A full tank is better than a non-full tank when storing a car, but you should drain the gas and replace it before driving. You might be able to drive on the gas now but it will probably run like crap and you could end up with clogged injectors etc.
