Default RE: Storage

Itake a different approach on the fuel tank. Inever drain it and if it is going to be stored for any lenght of time, I full it first. Ialways plug the lines to the take so it can't breath. This process has worked well for me, and when I was in Michigan, I always topped of the tank in my boat as part of the winter storage ritual. I tried to not let the tank go below 1/2 for cars I drove and keep them fulll for cars that were not diven often in the winter. With the car and boat, the amount of air in the tank was at a minimum to prevent condensation and water in the fuel that results from heating and cooling of the fuel, This was a problem with the older cars, the newer ones all have a closed system now.
