Default Winter storage e85

Car runs strictly on e85.

Getting ready to put the 951 to bed for 4 months.

Car will be in heated storage.

Should I fill the tank before hand or leave it close to empty?

Thanks

Fill it very full. Add the StaBil for Ethanol stabilizer (green) and run it in.

You might want to do a little reading on phase separation of E85. Looks like you are storing in a dry environment and if the tank is completely sealed from the air/humidity, this shouldn't be an issue. I drain the tank of E85 for winter storage...not worth the risk and reduces damage to rubber lines. Some rental storage facilities require you store the car with no fuel on board for fire reasons.
