weeks I am on vacation so I don't give it a second thought."


Wonder if it makes a difference if the boat's tank is made of metal or plastic?
I used to make sure my tank was full of Stabil treated gas but now maybe 2/3rds full of the treated gas so I can add 20 liters of fresh gas when the long 7 months sleep is finally over.


If it is a steel tank, rust might be an issue but I doubt there is
anything horrible that would happen in an empty aluminum or plastic
tank.
If a little water did condense in the bottom, E10 might be the best
solution. After all "dry gas" is just alcohol.
