    So I think the full vs empty tank debate can and maybe should be taken a step further. In the past, I had left fuel in the tank of my snowblower, but used the fuel shutoff valve to starve the engine if fuel effectively minimizing the amount of fuel in the carburetor. Fuel always treated with Stabil. . Last year, I didn’t do that. So this winter when I started the snowblower, it had symptoms of a clogged idle jet in the carb that I was able to remedy with the aforementioned Stabil product.

    I can deal with that ! I leave seafoam treated gas in the whole system over winter. Never had an issue. It's whatever makes a fella sleep better at night @!!

    I really need to mix smaller amounts or just be sure to use it up at the end of fall.

    Less ethanol was my understanding, I have rec-90 (90 octane ethanol free gas) maybe I should start getting that
