I was just reading about this the other day as I was getting fuel for a generator that is not used often. The Sta-bil basically creates a coating on top of the gas that keeps water out. However, if you ever move the can/device, the coating gets disturbed and no longer protects the gas.
However, if you use Sea Foam, it mixes with the gas (it's petroleum based) and does a much better job especially if the can/device will get moved or bumped in the garage. I got a huge can at WalMart for like $7 last week.
Since I'm keeping mine in the garage which can get easily bumped, it was a no brainer to get the Sea Foam instead of the Sta-bil. The only downside is that you will need a measuring device for Sea Foam as it's not built into the can.

Do you have a reliable source for this claim with regards the film on the surface and it being disturbed makes it ineffective?
There's nothing out there to support your assumptions.

The author of that was wrong. Once you put Sta-bil in your gasoline, you're supposed to run it enough so that mixture goes the carburetor. The main reason you need a stabilizer is due to the ethanol in gasoline. When it sits for a while, they start to separate. The ethanol will attract the moisture from the air. That mixture of ethanol and water is very corrosive. The stabilizer will slow down the separation process but not indefinitely. If you don't want to deal with that, just use ethanol-free gasoline, which costs more. The site for searching ethanol-free gasoline is www.pure-gas.org[pure-gas.org].

I think author was referring to the marine 360 that also adds that protection he was referring to.
