I pulled my boat out of the water for 4 months, and started the Yami every couple of weeks on flush mode. Anyways, I had to remove the carbs, and replace the fuel pumps, because of all the crap that formed inside those parts. Both fuel filter / fuel separators were full to the top with water. It`s hard to believe how much work it caused. Next time I will be more carefull, like running the engine of a small ext tank with fresh fuel, and emptying the main tank fully before storing.

I personally believe in filling em to the top myself. If there full of gas, then water cannot condensate inside the tank.

I agree - full is better than empty due to condensation and rust/corrosion....
