[QUOTE="gone, post: 225240, member: 5899"] I just spoke with the service manager of a GM dealership that sells and services lots of Corvettes, when there for my first free C8 oil/filter change today. He also spoke with 2 senior technicians of 25+ years. They've NEVER had any vehicles needing gas tank repairs for sulphur contaminated fuel level sensors. They typically suggest a full gas tank when parking a vehicle for the Winter, with stabilizer mixed in with it. So in other words, they don't accept the theory of storing a vehicle with a quarter tank of gas. Having said that, if your garage is heated they're not even worried about a less than full tank experiencing condensation. If the car is in the cold or subject to cold/hot fluctuations, then condensation can occur. Finally, they're more worried about "bad winter gas" which is why they recommend the stabilizer. [/QUOTE]
