If its under 10% petrol some 2 stroke oil will help fuel pump lubrication, preventing bits of metal clogging up the injectors etc. The petrol itself just burns. Its the high pressure fuel pump that needs protecting.
@Slimer. When I unlock the doors I hear a relay click (nothing to do with the doors) that, according to other threads, is the fuel pump priming There's one wheel on my wagon, but i'm still rollin' along, it's the cherokee, they're after me, but I'm singing a happy song

The fuel pump doesn't activate until position 2 of the ignition...this unlocking the doors business is not proven TBH  21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

To clear this mystery up....
