Winter storage
#1
Another question… I recently learned that among the recommended storage procedures for my Corvette is to store it with only 1/4 tank of gas, not full as we’ve always done. The idea that condensation will form in this sealed system is negligible. And the problem, if stored full, is the gas could leave a film of some kind on the in tank fuel level sensor necessitating its removal (big job…) and fix when/if it goes bad. This comes from the engineers at Chevy. And yes, I use Stabil so would think that wouldn’t be an issue… but? So my question is… since the CB’s have what I assume is a sealed system as well, does anyone know if this ‘direction’ to leave it low on fuel would apply here too? The owners manual says there is a storage procedure that the dealers know of, but actual direction is not mentioned in the manual. TIA!
