I pulled a TR3 out of storage this week and noticed it was  detonating =20
(which it didn=E2=80=99t do last fall when last driven).  Have  to assume=
 it is a gas=20
problem.  Which begs the question:  store the  car with a full tank of gas=
=20
(with or without a stabilizer) or as empty as  possible?=20

For the last 13 years my storage as regards  the fuel is simply driving to=
=20
the fueling station, adding the proper amount of  Sta-Bil, adding fuel to=
=20
completely full, which effectively stirs up the just  added sta-bil.  Then=
=20
driving around for ten or so minutes to get treated  fuel into pump and ca=
rbs. =20
The 2 is then driven home to start  a noninterrupted long winter nap.
