I think you'd have somewhat better luck using non-ethanol blended
gasoline.<br><br>

The fieldd seems split evenly between fill it versus leave empty or drain
– but, like Bill, everyone agrees with using stabilizer.<br>
<br>
I actually do use stabilizer – I think it’s called Sta-bil – but
obviously something deteriorated over the winter in my case.<br>

I should think less fuel is better, with stabilizer, this way when you
add fresh it will have a better dilution ratio. Also, don’t forget
to empty the carb float bowls, easily accomplished if you are using an
electric fuel pump and can simply disconnect it and let the car run to
empty.<br>

I pulled a TR3 out of storage this week and noticed it was
detonating (which it didn’t do last fall when last driven).
Have to assume it is a gas problem. Which begs the question:
store the car with a full tank of gas (with or without a stabilizer) or
as empty as possible?<br>
