Regardless of gas prices, since the change to E10 gas, you want to run your tank as low as possible before winterizing.

I agree with filling it & adding startron & Ezorb for the winter. Most marina's actually require you to store your boat full so that there is no chance of explosions from vapors.

Things done at the last possible minute are done with the greatest possible information. Procrastination is, therefore, the most efficient means of doing things.

Actually Ronnie,
Your right, but your problems could be far worse. Add some Biocide to your diesel at the end of the season. "bugs" like to grow in the water/fuel interface area in fuel tanks. These bugs love to clog filters and cause headaches. This happens on boat on up to ships. Sometimes depends more on the origin of the fuel whether Venezulen or Texas or Saudi. |

I think that's actually the law in Massachusetts, obviously if you store it yourself it won't matter but most marinas will want to fill it for insurance reasons |
