Thinking about a fill-up...
I put gas in the car on Saturday, and there's still well over half a tank.
The only reason I'd do this is peace of mind...the car will be garaged for a week between Christmas and New Year's, and I think it would probably be ideal to keep the whole tank full rather than just the bottom half (I searched on Bing and Ask Jeeves and did not find out any information about how to fill only the top half of the tank).
If I do fill it up, is there anything I should look out for? Any indication that the top half of the tank has dried out and needs to be reconditioned?
I'm having Pee Pee Eye groomed (and his **** glands expressed) this week as well, so it probably makes sense to do this at the same time. Should I have his butt juice analyzed, or is this normally done anyway?
Thanks all (and apologies to Mr. Cooke, who I hope is a good sport),

It depends Schnell. When was the last time you did the full fuel system flush with NOS or similar product? Right now could be a great time to drop the tank and inspect it for impurities.I would also send the gas sample to the lab, just to make sure that you are running the proper octane balance and not endangering the engine. While you are in there, check the fuel filter for any foreign objects. If you see any, it is time to drop the whole fuel system and do a thorough rebuilt. You can never be too careful with those things.

I have never done a Techron flush, but I did follow some instructions I found in this thread on the Mustang boards and did a garden hose flush. Is that pretty much the same thing?

Thanks, everyone. These chat forums are really helpful.

Garden hose flush is effective for removing grease from IMS bearing and engine internals. It is more applicable to the oil change. So next you are doing the oil change, make sure to use the garden hose flush method.
For proper NOS flush, see the link below. The fella poured the whole two bottle in the bike tank, hence the issue. You will be pour the whole bottle and engine will sing.

I was wondering the same thing about my blinker fluid. Lately, it just seems like my turn signals aren't as bright as they used to be. Does anyone know the recommended fill intervals from Porsche?

I keep my windshield washer fluid topped up with 94 octane. The ethanol works great as a winter de-icer, plus, if I hold down the headlight washer button long enough, the car shoots flames

My AOS quit working a while back, and I never really use the windshield washers anyway, so I'm now using the windshield washer fluid reservoir as a catch can. This seems to be working OK. I didn't actually run any tubing from the engine bay to the front trunk, but I did install a breather filter in both locations and I'm assuming that is sufficient.

Maybe. Rotate right bezelf left clockwise to obtain proper motor rotation and achieve strong directional stability when pivoting towards the area from which yellow object sky produces light.

My oil was changed 1,860 miles ago. Since Porsches are made in Germany, which uses the metric system, that means I'm at 3,000 kilometres and the oil is now used up. The odd thing is that my instruments still say there is a lot of oil in the car. Even after letting out about a gallon of dark-colored, used oil there's still a bar or two of pressure at 4,000 rpms during an acceleration test on the highway.
It's not that big of an issue because I got a really good deal on oil at Dollar General. Their in-house blend goes for $1/qt. Can't beat it!!!!

5CHN3LL you can gas up the top half of the tank with nitrogen, carbon dioxide or one of the nobles from table 18. Don't use hydrogen or helium unless you frunkenstein your car first. Without the added weight you might find the front end going light as you stable your ride. Keep those shoes well planted!
Hope Pee Pee Eye expresses himself well.

I thought noble gas was the stuff that comes from the dumper at Kensington Palace...
(Also, you forgot "the dreaded" and "all 4 corners," but otherwise, nicely executed!)
I think they roofie him before he gets "the finger" - he looked like he'd spent the night at Cosby's place the last time he got the treatment...
