Do you add a fuel stabilizer and fill the tank with fresh gas before placing your C7 in storage for winter?

1. I add fuel stabilizer and fill the tank with fresh gas.
2. I don't put in fresh gas but add a fuel stabilizer.
3. I don't add a fuel stabilizer.


Note: this poll is only for those who put their Corvette in storage for the winter.

I add the appropriate amount of fuel stabilizer to 1/4 tank of fuel.

I have stored my Corvettes for the past 15 years with a full tank of fuel and have never added fuel stabilizer. Never had an issue.

At age 70 I have stored a lot of cars and boats for the winter. SOP for me is to put in a good stabilizer and fill the tank. For the cars that comes to 6 months storage and for the boats about 8 months. Works for me!

With most gas having 10% ethanol, stabilizer not needed.

Full tank of gas or close to it no stabilizers.

StaBil and full tank fresh gas. C6 actually sat about 18 months one time when I had health issues. Car never had a problem.

I've been storing toy cars over the winter for 30 plus year. I have never added stabilizer and never had an issue. I once let my 442 sit for over two years. It started up fine. The gas was a but stinky but I just ran it down and added new fuel. In my opinion people way over think the storage of their vehicles.

Top tier Shell here has no ethanol which is why I use it.

Never. Unless you're storing your car for YEARS you need not dump anything but gasoline into your tank...

Interesting split between do's and don't.

Boiler_81

Half of us don't put stabilizer in and there haven't been issues reported in the Spring. That would seem to say putting in stabilizer is a feel good at best.

Outlaw Joe

I do the same.

Markss

You sure about this?

Supersonic 427

Yep...same here! Never a problem!

Shell has Ethanol - 10% at the stations here - but you are saying that the premium does not?

need to check the Shell refinery is a few miles and my neighbor works there in the cracker unit - will let you know.
