I sent my letter to the Representatives. Hopefully numbers will speak louder than PAC money.

If you have a fiberglass tank, I'd suggest you do some reading on the subject and remove it. They don't last long with ethanol.
As for storage, empty can be fine. But the condensation will occur. Many suggest leaving the tank full, and adding Stabil.
