minus-squareXamith@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up5·7 个月前I would highly recommend you do not drain the fuel tank, you should leave it with a full tank to minimize the amount of room for moisture in the air to condense. Too much moisture in your tank can cause it to rust from the inside out if it’s steel.

Thank you
