Ethanol stores much better in a sealed container than gas. Still need to treat it if storing for longer than a few months (stabil etc), but keep In mind you are only treating the gas portion so pare down how much you put in accordingly. Maybe 1/5th as much. Prime example, an old bottle of vodka doesn't layer and get funky. Ethanol doesn't break down like gas just absorbs water if it's not sealed.
