I have changed my stance on this issue as well. For the past two years, I have filled up all three tanks (for a total of 300 gallons). So not only was there the cost of the gas, the cost for the proper amount of stabilizer and treatment was not cheap either. Then I started thinking about what if all that gas I put in was (going) bad to begin with - sitting for 4 months isn’t going to help and pumping all that gas out will probably cost a pretty penny as well.

This year, I will run as much gas out of each of the tanks, stabilize and treat. If I need to have the gas pumped out, at least I will only be looking at maybe 5-10 gal in each tank – which will be cheaper than 300 gallons.

I have also started “calculating” what gas amounts I will actually be using within a 2-3 week time period so I can add (and burn) the appropriate amounts as needed vs filling the tanks and (possibly) have the boat sit for a month or so due to unforeseen circumstances.
Just my logic…
