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.

You are absolutely correct SAB1. By emptying the tank and carburetor gaskets and seals will definitely dry up and crack a lot faster also. Best to stabilize and keep tank and carb full. Been doing it this way since the introduction of ethanol and haven't had any issues yet.
