empty gas tank for winter storage

[slapshot]

I have heard various versions of that story. We have had ethanol gas in CT for the last few years. I've left the tank about 1/4 full the last couple of years. I would not say the gas is useless in the spring. My boat does burn it (yamaha 200 carbed). If you have a carbed outboard, I would make sure to drain the carbs (no gas in the carbs) or the fuel will leave a pile of crud that will clog the jets.

I plan to leave about 20 or so gallons in my 100 gallon tank. I add the Stabil product and make sure it is well mixed in the tank. Don't just dump it in the tank after putting her in storage for the winter, drive it so it mixes.

I too will drain the carbs, Honda 90, and leave as little gas as possible in the tank if any at all. P.

I run Fogging Oil through the carbs on my Johnson. Haven't had any trouble so far. Also pull the plugs and run Fogging Oil in the cylinders,then put the plugs back in. The first year I owned the motor, I didn't do that, and had a lot of trouble getting is started. No trouble at all since I started using the Fogging Oil the second year. My Johnson is a 2001.
