Full Tank for Winter Storage?

[juicemanfta]

So I winterized my boat, I have a 20L plastic tank that has 10L and stabilizers. Should I fill the tank? I don’t see the sense in filling a tank if it’s going to evaporate in the winter.

I would personally pour the 10 litres into my truck, snow blower.....

Start fresh in the spring.

I usually leave a half tank and add some conditioner, run some through the motor and shut off. The in the spring add some fresh gas , never had any problems.

It is always better to start the season with a fresh tank of gas. I would siphon it out and use it on the blower.

It's Better with a full tank that way there's no room for condinsation to get in the tank . Just make sure to add stabilzer.

With a large built in tank it should be filled to the top..like others have said it leaves less room for condensation. Also if you don't already run high test all summer it's a good idea to make sure your full of super for the winter...add your stabilizer before you put her away and you will have no problems! I have done this with every boat I have owned and never had a problem!

Topping the tank with premium gas is a good idea.

I've been told both "Shell V+Nitro" & all "Ultra Mar Premium" Hi Test gas apparently DO NOT CONTAIN ethanol, which is the weak link in gas storage these days. (ask a small engine repair shop, they will readily confirm it)

Using either of these hi test fuels eliminates one of the main problems with gas storage over the winter months.
Adding stabilizer to your fuel tank prior to winter storage is a must, and will further your chances of a quick start up in the spring.
Good Luck,
