Install a water separator and always....year around....treat your gas with StaBil fuel preservative.
Try to use your boat more frequently.
This is my theory on boat storage for 3+ months.
1) run gas to @1/4 tank with Stabil treatment
2) add 5 gallons of fresh premium Stabil treated gas every month
3) run fresh mix thru motor if possible
4) top of your batteries while your at it
5) that gives you 6 months minumum while decreasing condensation space
other option,
1) prior to storage, with near empty tank, fill tank with premium Stabil treated gas
2) this initially eliminates "condensation space"
3) this starts you at the highest octane levels
4) ethanol gas may loose freshness quickly so you will be working your way down from high octane to low octane during storage. How fast, not sure, but this has always been the manner I have stored my boat and will do it again this year. If trouble in the spring, I will do the new method.
