Oh forgot to mention and I know it is hard to change peoples opinions and dont intend to but I do now store all my takes full in offseason. No poke at you intended Belmont. All the boat/car/motorcyle/snowmobile mechanics I use now say to store full as do the charter fisherman out at Lake O. 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.
