Top Off Fuel Tank for Storage?
I see there is an article in the C7 General Discussion section that
suggests keeping your fuel tank at 1/8 to 1/4 full for winter storage.
Is there something drastically different between the C6 & C7 that
would change the popular opinion of storing with a full tank?
Title is how to prepare for winter.
Theory is fuel level sensors won't be in the fuel to form deposits on /corrode / fail.

Don't know why anyone would store a vehicle only 1/8 or 1/4 full, never heard anyone recommend that. I always fill up and add stabil for my boats. I never store a car.

I fill mine up even if it's going to sit for just a couple of days.

I've seen the opposite theory on the C6 forums. They posit that the deposits/corrosion happen when the level sensors are exposed to air.
Why invite condensation?
