Fuel Stabilizer

It's my understanding that you want the tank almost full to reduce condensation, but not completely full to allow room for fume expansion.

That is what I thought too but he told me different. I guess it is one of those thing's where everyone has a different way to do something. I have done it both ways and have not found any differences in either yet

"they",,,,say your better to fill it and stablize the whole tank..
don't go nuts topping it off 'cause those 65 degree days in early spring it will be gushing out the vents from expantion..

"I",,,, on the other hand have never use a single fuel product in over 15 years of boating. without ever having a problem. never worried about topping it off in the winter,,never used stabilizer,,ring free or the sort, in any of my boats.
the grady had the same fuel/water seporator filters on it for five years. and when i finaly did change them they were clean in side {i cut them open}.

maybe the fact it held 310 gallons kept it good... or it was never allowed to sit more than a few months? or the fact it went thru fuel like cheap wine in virginia??

not sure?? but it worked for me.

I guess every engine/stuation is different. I've got a 305 in my Chris Craft and if I don't winterize the fuel and tank properly, I have problems in the spring.
