Is the worry that there is a fire danger if you leave it full of fuel? If that is it, I wonder if you might be better off closing the petcock and filling the tank with diesel? If air / moisture can't get to the metal on the inside of the tank, it can't rust... I had a friend who pulled his tank, drained it, sealed it up and kept it in his closet. Took a lot less space than the whole bike. CJ ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- I've drained the gas tank on the Hummer and it will sit for the next 5 months in an unheated garage (the boss says there's no room in the house). What do the experts suggest to lessen condensation/corrosion in the tank; do I leave the gas cap off so air can circulate in tank; or do I close petcock and put cap on tight? Thanks. |
