I figure if the tank is full of gas, the exposed inner steel isnt exposed to all that oxygen which is needed for Rust/Oxidation.......HOWEVER the gas can get really really really stale and leave gum n varnish HMMMMMMMMMMM

What I do for say a one year storage is: Fill the Tank,,,,,Add plenty of Sta Bil Gas Stabilizer,,,,,,,,,Add a good amount of low ash Two Cycle Motor Oil (Like Mercury Quicksilver) which I believe leaves a thin oil film,,,,,,,Run the engine so the carb gets a good coating of the oil and sta bil,,,,,,,,turn gas off and let her die from carb gas starvation (drain carb),,,,,,,,,,,remove plugs and squirt plenty of oil in cylinders,,,,,,,,,turn the engine to a place where the points are open,,,,,,GIVE HER TWO ASPIRINS AND A LAYING ON OF THE HANDS,,,,,,,,put a light sheet dust cover over her (assuming inside storage)

Im sure there are plenty of different methods and opinions on this one, thats just what has worked well for me personally
