Hi, I have a 1985 Bertram 30 with a 220 Gallon Fiberglass Tank. As we approach the end of the season in the Northeast, we now have to start planning for Winterization. A standard procedure for Winterization over the years was to fill up your tanks with Gasoline before winter storage to cut down on water/condensation. That was before this Ethanol fiasco! Now if we have phase separation in the E-10 Gas, the Ethanol can eat away at the fiberglass resin in the tanks and also leave deposits in the Heads of the engine.
I have been treating the fuel with Startron for the past year.
What should I do this Winter? Should I fill up the tank with Startron treated fuel or should I leave 1/2 or even less than of tank of Startron treated fuel?

I have two small gas tanks that are stowed in my garage for lawnmowing, weed trimming, etc. Are they filled at a regular gas station? All I need is regular unleaded gas. Do I fill my tanks at the pump or is there somewhere else I need to go?

No interior switch. Both tanks used to work together showing accurate gas gauge of total fuel Now stops running if front tank is empty and rear is full. Gauge shows 1/2 tank.

A lighter car would have better gas mileage. Filling tanks only half way would decrease a demand for oil being processed into fuel (maybe?) and cars would become a little more economic. Does anyone think that would help at all?
