Fuel winter issue....sort of
Its not really a storage issue but I rarely seem to be driving my vette much at all. I drove it one day since Christmas. I wouldnt say I am storing it since I want to be able to take it out when I want but I rarely seem to but every 4-5 weeks.
I read that Exxon recommends you use fuel within the month you purchase it. Is there an additive I can use to protect the injectors, lines, ect from old fuel syndrome. Draining the fuel isnt in the cards. I will drive it more before that option. Just looking to learn about fuel longevity and additive options. I know there a lot of guys that looked into this so please teach me.

just keep the tank full and start it every one-to-two weeks and you should be fine.
you can use that "STA-BIL Fuel Stabilizer" but i wouldn't worry about it unless it's gonna be sitting for more than 3 months.
the less fuel in the tank the more condensation will effect the fuel.
