Biocide plus fuel stabilizer for DP?

I am putting our MH (a DP) to sleep for the winter. What is your view as to the need to add a fuel stabilizer in addition to a biocide for treating the diesel fuel tank? I have already added the biocide. (Yes, the tank will be full before storage)

Thanks much.

You should put an anti-gel into your tank and run it through the generator and hydro hot if you live in a zone that gets below freezing.

You need a fuel treatment/preserver for storage. The only need for anti-gel is if you plan on running the engine or generator if the temperature is below the fuel cloud point, which varies by the blend.
