Winterization ??? Full tank vs empty
In a conversation with my old man I mentioned that I was going to fill the tank before putting the boat away . He commented that it wasnt a good idea due to the ethonal content in the fuel .
My question is what the recommended procedure for winter storage as far as fuel goes ??? Full VS Empty or Additive VS No Additive or something else

with the ethanol in the gasoline now it is causing problems I,m told.It was rcommended to me to have the tank low and add your stabalizer for the winter.Then in the spring your adding fresh fuel and not burning stale fuel that has been sitting around for the winter.I think there are many opinions but this is what I am doing.
