Default winterization

What good is Techron if it just sits in the gas tank and not run through the system? This may not be relevant to cars, but this what the boat mechanics say. Take your pick: From "Boating": The results of my poll were as follows. One local marina abides by the recommendations made by the boat brands it sells and suggests to its customers that they fill their tanks. Another independent engine shop, which is where all the go-fast guys in southern Maine go for work, wants between a half and quarter tank and stabilizes the fuel as part of the winterization service. Here’s the best one. The service manager at Port Harbor Marine in South Portland, Maine, Jim Peterson, said, “Ideal is empty, but if there’s anything above almost empty, we fill them.” Get this guy a podium at the next political debate.
