I store my gas tank empty. There's two schools of thought on that. One is the "old school" process which is to fill it up and that allows for less condensation. The newer train of thought is to store it as empty as possible, and let it condense. (Even though I store mine in a heated garage). The gas will have condensation and will be "old" in the spring, even with StaBil. With less gas, there's...

Good job, I'm done for ther year. Hopefully I don't have to resort to ice fishing to get through the winter but I'll do what is necessary!
