[DeTomaso] Winterizing - Recommended Fuel Stabilizers

[Mike Thomas]

Thanks Julian, I do have a shutoff valve and hadn't thought of that.  Silly
as I did the same thing to the lawn mower just yesterday.

The best way is to run the tank down to almost empty as it means you've
enjoyed the last of the good weather! 

 

I'd go the ethanol free route in your climate run the tank down to almost
empty (an excuse to ensure you've enjoyed the last of the good weather!)

 and go fill it at one of the 230 gas stations across Washington selling
ethanol free gas and add Seafoam stabilizer. 

 

If you have a fuel shut off valve, you can turn it off and run the carb dry
to stop varnish build up.
