Fuel Stabalizer's for Long Term Storage
Guys - What kind of fuel stabalizer's are you using for Long Term Storage on your 997TT's? I just got the CTEK for the battery, and am concerned about the gas in the tank for the winter months. Any thoughts, suggestions or guidance on storing for the winter would be great. Too much salt on the road to take her out often. Thanks!

What's the best way to get it into the tank? I tried with a syringe and it reacts with the rubber in the plunger and makes it very difficult to push the syringe in as it expands a little. Probably best with a funnel or something similar I suppose.

Get an empty plastic bottle put the amount you need and pour it in. You don't need to be that accurate anyway. I kept one of the bottles and pour the recommended amount in and keep it in the car when I know I am going to fill up gas that day

Funnel with a long fill tube that will fit into the fuel opening works best. Stabil suggests you add stabilizer and then fill up for improved mixing. I use Stabil with the Ethenol treament additive.

Thanks guys! Question - why would a funnel be needed though? Doesn't the bottle of Sta-Bil allow you to pour in directly from it without use of a funnel?
Spoke to my buddy who stores his collection long term (GT2RS, 997.2 GT3RS, Ferrari's and collector Corvettes) and he said Sta-Bil is not necessary really for short term (several months) storage like what I will be doing. The CTEK is enough. He says the sta-Bil is best for cars with carburators. It won't hurt to use it, but just isn't necessary he says.
