Well, I think I put new gas in when the tank was like 80% or so. Only a few times I put new gas in when the tank was almost empty like 95%. If the culprit is the WW or coolant, this pattern could explain the 9 months period since it may stay dormant at the bottom of the fuel tank.

I usually put new gas in once every 3 weeks. So that makes it roughly about 12-15 visits to the gas station over 9 months.

If you have the time to do the experiment (with WW or just coolant) and willing to do it, please take pictures because I have seen in my own eyes how the gel reacts with the gasoline (the porsche mechanic showed me a bottle of gasoline with the gels, which was later sent to the lab).
