Winter storage: Empty tank or use stabilizer

Posted by Quebec Bob on September 26, 2005 at 05:49:08 from (207.35.128.158):

I am going to only use my big tractor this winter and put my gas Massey 50 up on blocks in an unheated but dry part of the barn. I'd like to know whether it is better to completely drain the gas tank or keep it full and use a modern gas stabilizer in the full tank. Awhile back, a friend recommended the gas stabilizer to me for chain saw and lawn mower gas that sits around some and I have used it with success. I'm thinking that to use it for the winter would avoid potential rust problems in the tank. Any thoughts?
