: 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
I use OMC fuel conditioner it ia meant for outboards but the addative works for any engine in preventing any varnish deposits. i do not drain any engines as this can dry gaskets, allow debris to enter more easily and allow water vapor to enter. Be sure to change oil preceeding storge to lessen the effects of sulpheric acids to penetrate the pourous components inside the engine.
