My motorcycle had instructions for storing that involved removing all

Some motorcycle manuals have some rather lame advice in them. If you
store a bike for the winter, drain the carb but leave the tank full.
This way the tank won't rust out.

Come spring drain the gas into a can and put it in your pickup truck.
Then start the bike with fresh gas..

Pickup truck?? 'Fraid I drive a 1984 Holden Barina that is going
rusty (lousy paint quality on those years) The old Suzuki is long
gone and sold. Unfortunately. I shoulda stored it for my second
youthhood. sigh
