My understanding is that, if the vehicle isn't being used for a while, it is best to have the tank full as it minimises condensation.

B.B. has been stood since mid March with 3/4 tank full and only done a couple of local runs up till Monday when I took it on a 253 mile round trip to visit our daughter in North Wales.

I left my (diesel) boat for 6, sometimes 8 months - full tanks essential as Weegie says and I used a biocide additive from the chandlers.

I wouldn't worry Stan... I have several cars here laid up since March including my FF... I worry more about battery condition to be honest... My point of worry would be 2-3yrs onwards not months...
