Default How to Stabil?

So I will be parking my jeep for 6 months and have decided to use Stabil. The package says 1oz per every 2.5 gallons. My question is: should I store the Jeep with a full tank or near empty tank. The tank is plastic so I dont think rusting is an issue. Thanks

I'd store full. Condensation can still form in the tank and eventually be sucked into the engine later on.

Besides gas prices are rising. Think of it as an investment.

Also be sure you run the engine so the Stabil will be all the way up into the injectors

I tend to agree. This is how I store all of my lawn equipment in the off season and it works fine.
