After reading numerous pieces of advice from pros to "anonymous internet soothsayers", I have developed my own checklist for winter prep. Since I live in southern Michigan, my storage interval is from late October/mid November to mid/late March. See attached file.
Note: Dumping a full tank of fuel and not using it in a week's time (after storage) seems superfluous to me. For what purpose will it be used??? A five to six month old fuel with Sta-Bil does not hurt the engine. The purpose of Sta-Bil is to "stabilize" the fuel.
