1. A full gas tank is less likely to form condensation and have water problems.
2. Gas from a reputable station that you trust will have fewer ice problems than the place with the cheapest gas MOST OF THE TIME!
3. If not being used it's best to drain the gas tank and run the carb dry. STA-BEL will only keep the gas from going bad for so long.
4. Make sure gas is stored in clean containers/tanks that are not water logged.
5. Buy the wife a snow shovel for when you can't get yer stuff started!!!!!
6. Insulate dog house!

1. Because I don't use the tractor that much, I don't keep the tank full... probably don't use a tank a year and guess I was more afraid of the gas getting old than collecting moisture.
2. I guess I didn't think water in gas from a station was a problem like it might have been years ago... haven't had a problem with that for years.
3. Maybe when the weather warms up, like in April or May, I should drain everything and start over.
4. My containers get drained pretty regular during the summer... 2- 5 gal. cans, and I have 2 acres where most gets mowed every week with my Dixon or old JD garden tractor.
5. Yeah, right!! Besides that, I have about 500' of circle driveway.
6. I do have an insulated dog house... dogs don't use it any more, so it's available if I get in trouble.

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
