Bill,
How do you "store the tank" in winter? I installed a new poly tank this spring, and I currently have about 12 gallons in my 18 gallon tank..I am just about to put the boat to sleep for winter...I've been getting fuel from high volume pumps, but it has 10% ethanol!!!!!! - I have added the "new" ethanol formula Sta-bil and MMO. I am trying to decide if I should add 5 more gallons to reduce condensation or try to spend some weekends burning out all the fuel.

Here's the million dollar question that I wrestle with:

Which is worse -
a) 18 gallons of 10% ethanol fuel that phase separates?
b) just a few gallons of 10% ethanol fuel in an 18 gallon poly tank with lots of tank condensation?
