I've never treated the gas in my tractors that sit over the winter. I do shut the gas off at the sediment bowl. The last WD-45 I bought had been sitting for 4 or 5 yrs. with nearly a full tank of gas; there was at least a half tank left when I bought it. They never shut off the gas at the tank so the carb. float valve would let gas in whenever the gas evaporated within the carb. Over such a long period of time a lot of gas had evaporated from within that carb. I have never ever seen so much varnish built up in a carb.! There had to be at least 3/16" of varnish on the inside walls. Putting in the Sta-Bil is probably a good idea but I have found because these engines were designed to run on relatively low octane gas, they start and run OK on gas that has lost some of it's "bang".
