*Engine storage is on my list a lot as I have collector cars, cycles and
tractors. I try to drain all fuel from systems and tanks but the "fuel
stabilizers" like "STABIL" are good for a few months. I like to run my 4
stroke motors, air-cooled especially, on some 2-stroke mix fuel for a minute
to get some lube on the upper cylinder area; maybe a "cocktail" of 2-stroke
fuel AND "Stabil" would be smart! I like to blow up tires to their max for
storage if I can't block them up.*
