ok.. Emtpy or full tank before winter??
I hear so many mixed opinions from the guys in my area on filling up or leaving it empty, like to know what you all feel on it. I fear the condensation build up over 5-6 months hear in Michigan. So whats your thoughts??

I have stored them full and empty. There are plusses and minuses to both ways. I just make sure I treat what is left and have yet to have an issue. I top it off in the spring and take it easy for the first tank.

I have stored 1/2 full each time for the last few years with ethanol laced gas, treated with Stabil marine and HAVE never had a problem the following year starting and running. Just make sure you treat what is left in the tank.

Empty. The last thing I want is my boat sitting in an enclosed storage garage for 6months full of fuel. Take the boat out for one last run, before cleaning it and putting it away for the winter... Just my .02..
