    gas tank, nearly empty or full?

    Should I keep my gas tank full or nearly empty on my car that is driven only about 50 miles or less a week?

    California gas part ethanol, 10% I think.

    Carbureted.

    Thanks in advance,

    Rob

    full. add a fuel stabilizer product to extend the life of the gas.

    mostly empty will cause condensation in the tank as the ambient temp changes....this will give you water in the fuel, and rust in the tank.

    or just drive it
