[QUOTE="Topgun, post: 172957, member: 4456"] You're doing it right. Full tanks can't condense water from the air and rust (if it's a steel tank). Sounds to me like you are running the motor enough to keep the fuel fresh. The opposite is true for the outboard. If the motor will be unused for more than a few weeks, [i]drain [/i]the carburetor to prevent varnish build-up. Running the motor 'till it dies doesn't do it. [/QUOTE]
