Most everyone wrote "fill it up and add Stabil" but to be technically correct, you should add Stabil, THEN fill it up, THEN run the engine. This will ensure that the Stabil is thoroughly mixed with the fuel and that the fuel that will sit in the fuel system over the winter, be it the carb or the fuel injectors, will have Stabil in it and will not gum up.

Sea Foam is the BOMB, in a good way. Just put it in all my cars and boats cause the cars were getting close to tune-up time and WOW they are running smooth now. I'm probably running through the last tank of gas so it's 93 octane and sea foam. I'll fill, top off with 93 and the dealer throws in stabil as part of the winterization. Never had a problem.
I tried other fuel treaments and sold on SeaFoam now. Not sure how it handles fuel seperation, but I'll run it through the first and last tank of the season and use stabil while it sits over the winter.

Leave er close to empty as I've done the past eight years. Run a gallon of stabil gas through and call it good. In the spring you pump out the remaining gas, water and crud and start with fresh gas. Otherwise, what do you do with a full tank of degraded crapped up ethanol based gas that still has water in it? I know what some people do and some of those people have discussed the consequences.
