My motor cycles and mowers have always had tanks filled over the winter and no additives. Have thrown gas guard in occasionally after a long winter. I feel gas stabile is unnecessary. I do live in a very dry climate. Also very cold winters.

Thats good to hear about your 55NA, I'm about to put my 57 293 PP auto to bed for the Winter, sounds like a full tank is the way to go.
We have had Ethanol in our fuel since the early 90's. That stuff still makes me nervous about storage.
