Proper Winter Storage
We own a 2002 F-350 long bed dually that we use primarily to pull our 37’ 5th wheel for camping trips. Other than that is rarely used transport building material for home projects and take winter leaves to the local land fill.
There is a 97 gallon gravity feed external fuel tank in the bed of the truck. Last winter was colder than usual on the mid-east coast and when we tried to start up this past spring we had to charge the battery and there was a large amount of water in the fuel.
Right now there is about ½ tank of fuel in the primary tank, external tank is empty. We plan this winter to take the truck out for about a 20 mile drive every 2 weeks.
What else should we do over the winter, should we store it with the external tank full or empty? We use fuel additives, what do you consider the best additive for winter storage?
