Storage question

[blown motor]

I always fill the gas tank in the fall and put in fuel stabilizer. If the car is in temperature controlled storage do I really need to fill it to prevent condensation and the the inside of the tank from developing any minor rust?

Are you running a dehumidifier?   

[blown motor]

No just a propane furnace.

A dehumidifier will take out the condensation that accusers when the temperature fluctuates.

I figure it cant hurt to fill it up.

Ya you're right Jason. I was asking out of curiosity. Sometimes my mind does that.

I wouldn't think a car in a garage would get too much condensation but neither will a full tank.

I always fill it with non-ethanol fuel, no problems yet. An extremely fussy friend of mine left his bought new, 71 Charger SE with a half tank of fuel and he had a heck of a mess one spring.

Just my two cents....
I would definitely fill it up, I've been doing this for almost 50 years with no problems. Michigan winters can get very brutal and my garage is unheated.

I just watched a video from Legendary Motor Cars, they said fill it up, also over inflate the tires which I've never heard before

I prefer to just live in a southern climate (Houston) and have year-round use! Though my cruising definitely drops in the summer (:

Propane heat is dry. My house is heated with propane and if my humdifier isn't working correctly, everything I touch shocks me, my Wife and the cat which is fumy as hell.

Stabil also makes Stabil 360 which was originally formulated for marine use.  It supposedly also treats the gas tank and gas lines and prevents rusts and condensation.  It's a little more expensive and sometimes harder to find; but less of it treats the same amount of fuel as the regular Stabil so the increased price is sort of a wash.  Bottom line, is I fill the gas tank of my 'Cuda and also add the Stabil 360.  I add it at the gas station before I fill the tank so it gets it thoroughly mixed as I fill up and then sucked into the gas lines and carb as I drive home before I put it to bed for the winter.

A couple of more things. Do not leave the battery hooked up to the cars electrical system.
Shorts have happened and caught cars/garages on fire. 
Leave a clear path out the garage door in case you need to move it out quickly.
Always have a large enough fire extinguisher in your garage to actually do some good. Better to have a couple.

That's some more pretty good advice.
