Thanks to all who replied - most of which chose to reply 1:1.
The fieldd seems split evenly between fill it versus leave empty or drain -
but, like Bill, everyone agrees with using stabilizer.
I actually do use stabilizer - I think it's called Sta-bil - but obviously
something deteriorated over the winter in my case.

I should think less fuel is better, with stabilizer, this way when you add
fresh it will have a better dilution ratio. Also, don't forget to empty the
carb float bowls, easily accomplished if you are using an electric fuel pump
and can simply disconnect it and let the car run to empty.
My thoughts,

Subject: [TR] winter storage
I pulled a TR3 out of storage this week and noticed it was detonating
(which it didn't do last fall when last driven). Have to assume it is a gas
problem. Which begs the question: store the car with a full tank of gas
(with or without a stabilizer) or as empty as possible?
