Default Re: emptied fuel tank (results)

I agree with the condensation stuff. I have found no problem no matter what level it does its winter sleep in.

I do know (and it makes sense) that empty storage will dry out seals. Used to run the O/B and motor cycle engine with fuel hose pulled until it ran dry. Was in storgae instructions. After a few years all kinds of carb problems. Not sure if fuel injection fairs as bad.

Fwiw I've been storing tanks for years with whatever fuel is left in them after the last trip..... 1/4 tank, 1/2 almost full. Personally thinking the whole condensation thing is bs.
