[QUOTE="jethro, post: 459215, member: 12381"] I learned this with kids snowmobiles that use tiny carbs. The kids run the sleds around the yard all day and then run it out of gas. A hot engine and a carb with no gas, the jets would varnish almost instantly. Then I'm cleaning carbs with a teary eyed kid tugging at my coat tail. The same concept applies to a gas tank. You want as little air in there as possible when you store it. Most of our boats use portable fuel tanks but anything with an on board tank that needs to get stored over the winter, I will fill right to the rim and add fuel stabilizer. The more air that is in the tank, the more condensation you will generate with changes in the temperature. [/QUOTE]
