Add Stabil, Marine Stabil, or SeaFoam and top the tank. JMHO

Top the tank, and add stabilizer, But run the engine for a few minutes to get the stabilizer/gas mix through the whole fuel system.

There's an echo in here. Stabil or similar, run it through the system, top off the tank to minimize condensation in the tank.

:lecturef_smilie: And pump the tires up! Try to set them on some cardboard or something to get them off of the concrete...

Add stabil and fill the tank for normal winter storage. If you believe it may be in storage for more than 6 months drain the tank.

Or you could store it at my lace in Tampa Bay. Just leave the keys. I'll keep fresh gas in it and the battery charged.

Agree with all above. I also bought snowmobile dollies, keeps it off the cement and allows me to roll it out of the way if need be.

I hope that this winter is as mild as last year, and I won't have to change to a SeaFoam/Gas mixture...
