: Winter is fast approaching..for a gas tractor should the gas tank be drained and run the engine til the carb is dry or do the gas stabilizer products I've heard of work? (tractor will not be used til spring) any other tips for winterizing??dave Seems like there's always a drop in the jet to gum it up eventually no matter how I try to run an engine dry. I hear that leaving the tank empty is a good way to let it rust inside because it will breath and get condensation on that gasoline cleaned surface. Probably using Sta-Bil with a full tank and running the engine enough after mixing in Sta-Bil to make sure its in the carburetor is best. I've not done that yet because of the price of enough for my engines... Gerald
