I have to agree with mik last winter mine would sit for 2 weeks + at -20 - go out she would crank slow but pop off even without the choke!

Default ....come to Arkansas

......Come on down to Arkansas..?
It's a balmy 45deg with a low of only 30deg tonight.
Seriously, do you have to add any fuel additives up there
due to the extreme cold ?
Just curious.

Its not a bad idea to do it (although here in Edmonton its only this cold for a few weeks out of the winter) but i havent yet, and havent run into any trouble... how ever it is highly suggested to not let your gas tank go below half, to minimize condition build up, which in turn can freeze your lines
