With the low fuel prices now will you be topping off the gas/diesel tank on
your boat before you put her to bed for the winter or will you gamble that
prices will be lower come next Spring?

I will probably top off before the boat goes to the storage yard as I am now
on trailer.

Good idea to add some StaBil. I have.

Not a good idea to top off. Always leave some room for expansion. (Based on
experience!)


I always fill the tank (leaving room for expansion) to minimize
condensation, not to play the "gas market" Fuel Stabilizer is added and
I run the engine for 10-15 min. to make sure the stabilizer makes it way
into the fuel system.
