Toro recycler model 20384, purchased 2012

The mower was surging pretty bad. I had to remove and clean the carburetor which solved the problem. Should I assume that the surging problem was caused by dirt in the gas? The gas in my 5 gallon gas can was three months old. Questions:

(1) Should I not keep gas in the gas can for three months?

(2) During the summer, should I add Stabil to the gas can to keep the additives from coming out of solution? Is this even the right question?

(3) How do I clean out my gas can so that this problem does not reoccur?

Get a smaller gas can 1 gallon probably fill more often, ignore stabil
