The reason to fill the fuel tank is to minimize the air space in the tank. Changing temperatures over winter will result in water condensation in the tank. Large air space = equals water in fuel. :E
Yep. It was probably about 1/2 full, which I know is not ideal. The gauge doesn't work so I'm always guessing how much is in it anyway. I keep a log with a conservative MPG estimate, which seems to work. Thankfully I've never been surprised by accidentally running out, but have been surprised at how much more than I calculated is left in the tank from fill-to-fill.
