I am going to through some "gas" on the fire. Yes, I agreee, fill the tank full. It keeps condensation from forming and rusting your tank and causing problems down the road. As for a stabilizer, if you use Sta-bil, you are taking some chances there. I run a small engine repair shop and I get tractors, generators, snow blowers, etc in that will not run. We find a substance in the gas that resembles tapioca pudding in the tank. We clean it, rebuild carb, then customer gets really upset when we tell then what we had to do. They say "That cannot be right, we put Sta-bil in out gas". That does not happen 100% of the time, but we do get it at times, must be that Sta-bil has an reaction to some fuels. I use either Sea-Foam, or Briggs and stratton stabilizer and have exceptionally good luck with these two.
In reality, if you use a good quality gas, with a full tank, in an a cold unheated shed, you do not need any fuel stabilizers for winter storage. I would be more worried about engine storage before I would worry about fuel storage in the winter.
