The stabilizer used from 2021 is called Quicksilver Quickstor, which can be purchased from Nidri Marine.
It's stored in the cockpit locker near the big toolbox.
Use at the ratio of 1.6ml to 1Ltr of fuel. The bottle will treat a total of 227 litres and it has a shelf life of 5 years. A pipette, capable of measuring the additive accurately, is stored with the stabilizer above the pilot berth. When filling the 5ltr can from empty, add 8ml to the new fuel stabilizer.
