So, should I store my Commando without gas in it for the winter...or use a fuel treatment like Stabil and leave it full?

Thanks!

Fiberglass or steel tank? I prefer to store steel tanks full with Sta-Bil, and drain glass tanks.

If your not gonna' ride it, drain it! Old glass tanks have a tough time with modern fuels.

With a steel tank, particularly in a damp climate, it's a good idea to keep it full of stabilized fuel during the storage period so it doesn't rust out.

With a glass tank you don't have to worry about that! Just one of the advantages of owning a glass tank

thinking outside the box,
