Fibreglass Tanks
I have a fibreglass tanked Montesa 348 and 247 as well as a TY175 with a shedworks fibreglass tank. All tanks are in good condition with no leaks. I will shortly need to store the bikes for approx six months and am not sure of the best options regarding fuel. Do I store them with the tanks full or empty and apart from draining the carbies is their anything else recommended?

Re: Fibreglass Tanks
I always drain and dry out fibreglass tanks if I'm not planning to ride the bike again within the next week or so.
Steel tanks are the opposite. Drain the carby but leave the tank full of premix to prevent corrosion.
