Full tank of 91+ (minimum) and the battery tender.
If it's not in the OM, it's not in my car.

Been storing Corvettes for years, never used fuel stabilizer and have never had any fuel issues.
But if it makes you feel better, then use it.

I just purchased my C8 in Nov. I put fuel stabilizer in it. Here's some other info I found out regarding storage. I have a 2 car garage and I park my DD in it as well. The C8 has an indoor cover. Rains a lot where I live not to mention salt/calcium anti ice agents on the road as well. Was going to buy a heater for the garage. Found out this would not be good for the DD being parked in there. Speeds up erosion from anti ice agents. Best thing to have according to research is a de-humidifier. ( I know best thing would be to keep the DD out of the garage but it's electric and needs to be charged ) Best for storage is a relative humidity of 40-50 % and temp between 50f and 65f. Keeping humidity below 60% is important. Space heater won't keep the garage at recommended temp so looks like a garage heater is the next purchase. So just heating the garage is not the only thing you need to do. Can't wait until spring !!
