[AT] Gasoline Fuel System Storage?

[Jason]

Actually on the motorcycle, an empty tank is really bad for storage. It 
allows a lot of space for condensation, and that moisture causes rust. I 
fill the tank as full as I dare with stabil-mixed gas. Need to allow some 
room for expansion in the summer. Then I give the bike a shake every now and 
then to coat the unfilled part of the tank with the gas.
