What fuel stabiliser do you recommend?

In answer to another question it was suggested that a fuel stabiliser could be used if the petrol engine is not much used. Any suggestions as to which fuel stabiliser?

Fuel stabiliser is a less common product than other fuel additives, but we found VP Racing Fuel Stabiliser from Merlin Motorsport which is designed to work with petrol that has an ethanol mix (such as E10) and is a fuel system cleaner. One bottle can treat up to 300 litres of fuel too, so it should prove to be an inexpensive solution.
