The initial year ethanol came out they (mechanics)were against this due to possible phase separation but now they all tell me to store full especially if you have a metal tank and load them up with Stabil (always did anyway). To much condensation can form on the empty sides of the tanks. Plastic tanks less of an issue. I also run Star tron in everything now. Stinks buying it and paying more money but I have had so many issues with small outboard carb's its worth it. Several people I know with snowmobile store their tanks full and then in spring syphon the gas out and run it through their cars.

Hey to each their own, but, personally I would rather drain or leave as little in as possible because, after 30 days even with stabile your fuel isn't the same as it was before storage. So for me I'd rather have a little not so fresh stabilized gas and top it off with as much fresh gas as possible to start off the season. Remember stabilized fuel is not near a good as none stabilized fuel. Yes it does burn but it is not as efficient and more likely to foul plugs and rob you of horsepower.
Maybe it is different for sleds but our dealer says drain as much if not all out.
I've had great luck doing it this way and I hope you have the same doing it the old way.
