With the fuel sitting in the tanks all winter, treated or not, how good is the gas that comes out first thing in the year? Even treated gas is good for only so long and 5-6 months is a long time for fuel to sit.
I know there is a lot of pros and cons but that is why I drain all or most and stabilize the rest when I store. I figure a little old gas mixed with a lot of new gas is better then a lot of old gas.
