Default Turbine Storage

A while ago there was a post here or maybe on the jet list stating that one should run turbine oil thru the engine before storing it for an extended length of time.

I ran into Rei at Deland and asked him about this. His reply was that NO WAY should you do this, as it would gum up the injectors. He said that algae were not going to grow inside the engine, and that if you were worried about keeping the injectors clean, you could add some automotive injector cleaner to the fuel. How much, I don't know, probably just a few ounces per 5 gallons of fuel would be my guess.
