When winterizing do you keep you fuel tank full with stabilizer in it..

[77SceptreOB]

In South Carolina, that is exactly how I do it when I put up my boat for the winter (late Nov - mid March)

[PeterM]

Yes. Full with stabilizer

[Stephen]

We fuel till full, fish till empty, repeat.............
That wasn't funny....Sorry I couldn't resist !! lol

[NoBones]

Hopefully for all of us that $2 gallon gas is still there in the spring !!

What is that W word??

[lelandtampa]

I heard about the "w"word once at deer camp in the upper peninsula. It's when god turns the outdoors into a freezer for half the year to punish people.

We don't fish in shorts over the winter, but, not much of the "w" word here either!

As an alternative - I run the last of the stabilized fuel through the outboard, then drain the remaining fuel in the tank and use it in my car. In the spring, fill up with fresh and then go.

[Ed]

Since they started distributing ethanol in the mid 2000s, I have never filled up the tank at the end of the season.

Rather, I try and run it down as low as I can get it but before I do so, I run stabilizer through the system usually for the entire month of September. I would much rather start off with a fresh batch of fuel in the spring than have a significant amount of stale fuel to deal with.

Obviously everyone has their opinions, but this has worked for me (and many of my customers) over the last 15 years.
