I had several conversations over the past few weeks about whether to store our boat with the diesel fuel tanks full or 1/4. The boat will be in heated storage. Those that say full is because it keeps the moisture out. Those that say 1/4 is to keep the weight down. Everybody says to put a biocide in. Looking for additional thoughts.
