Fuel deterioration in winter storage

[Michiel van Wessem <jmvw@xxxxxxxxx>]

Isn't it possible to just drain the fuel tank? Maybe like this: attach a
nice long piece of cheap fuel hose to something in the engine compartment
that has fuel pressure and put it in the fuel opening of another vehicle
and keep the ignition in run position until all the gas has been pumped
out. Hey experts, does the fuel pump stay active if the car isn't started?

When storing the car without fuel, maybe leave the gas cap off and tie a
piece of cloth over the fuel opening so there won't be any water
condensation in the tank (avoiding corrossion). Check the smell in your
garage every now and then though, if too much gas would get in the air,
there's a danger of explosion.

Ok, these things are just ideas. What I say may be utterly stupid.
