Plastic or Metal fuel tank (winter storage question)
Does a 2006 XLT have a plastic lined or bare metal fuel tank. I just put my truck in storage for the winter and I only have half a tank of gas in it. It has no insurance on it so I can't drive it and I don't feel like making a bunch of trips to the gas station with a fuel tank to fill it up.
I'm wondering about rust in the fuel tank. I do have stabil in it though.
Will iso-heet in the tank help water from condensing?
Any other tips on storage would be nice too.

Stabil and some ethanol treatment (also made by stabil) should do the trick. If it's just for winter I wouldn't worry bout it too much. It's all I do for my boat (plastic tank) and bikes (metal tanks). No problems so far.
