Default gas and winter storage

Hi, just got the car out of storage and drove it a bit. Tank was filled last fall and of course Sta-bil-ized. I was wondering if you recommend burning almost all the old gas and then refilling, or refilling say every quarter tank so new stuff mixes with old? Thanks, Larry

I run 93 in mine. Put it away full (no Stabil) in NY, take it out in the spring. Dun deal - no problems. I DO use a Battery Tender Plus on it though anytime it's not going to be run for a week or more.

I used to use Stabil but stopped some years ago.

Just fill it as you normally would . . . . no reason to do anything special.

Enjoy !

If it runs fine, no need to do anything special.
