Last October i siphoned the old fuel out of both my on board gas tanks and left the boat in the 65 degree garage over the winter, should i be concerned about moisture being in the tanks now, and if so is there a additive (alchohol) i can pour into the tanks to remove any moisture that is compatible with the stabil ethanol additive?


Thanks.

I wouldn't be real concerned. Plus Stabil should take care of any minor issues.

The 10% alcohol in E-10 is all you need as a "alcohol dryer"

I like to leave approx one quart of fuel/oil mix in the tank to winterise (in my garage) so I can shake the tank upside down once in a while during the winter months.
