Default Empty of Full?

I have seen two sides to that story in the boat magazines. The latest story in Boat US is that ethanol stabilzers work for 18 months. If you your going to empty the tank within 18 months than leave the tank full. If you are going to store the gas longer then empty the tank.

My mechanic says it doesn't matter how much is in the tank. You are storing the boat for a few months with stabilizer, today's water filter can compensate for any water and bad ethanol.

I talk to another reliable mechanic and he confirmed this finding.
