When storing boat at end of season do you completely fill your tank with stabilised gas or run it as low as possible (stabilised gas) so you can start the next season with fresh gas ?

Location: West of the metro, MN | I empty mine as much as possible. Why risk using old fuel the next spring? I don't know about you but by the time the water opens up I don't want anything to get in between me and that open water. |

| Although I don't always do it, I believe a full tank is recommended and best. Less moisture (condensation) can get into the gas with a full tank. |

| Either way. Condensation was a concern when tanks were metal. No longer metal, so that's a moot point. As long as the gas you run on your last trip is stabilized, you should be good to go. Full tank, or nearly empty, it should make no difference. |

Location: Hayward, WI | Stabilizers work best when added to fresh gas. If I am not going to be burning up the gas in a week or 2 I add stabilizer when I fill the tank. Some people stabilize their gas in October when done for the season and the gas in the tank could already be a month or more old.
Personally like to have my tank close to empty and then start off the season topping it off with fresh gas.

Location: MN | I have a 27 gallon fuel tank and rarely consume all gas within two weeks unless I'm fishing for an extended period. I add a little Sea Foam each time I add gas and keep a full tank all winter. Most years I am able to fill up a close to empty tank at storage time. Right or wrong seems to work for me.
