I can tell you , on my lawn mower & string weed trimmer , I have started running them dry , at the end of the summer season .
I read the E10 gas-o-hol causes more problem , if left in a tank . As compared to " standard " unleaded or even the previous leaded gasoline .
Yes , I realize the power equipment has unsealed tanks . That probably makes the situation worse . And the 2 stroke engine has the presence if the oil mixed with the gasoline . That seems to gum up , even worse .
The tank on the Volt may end up being the best case situation ? Bit I would try to run it once a month , if not once a week . Would not cost very much and might end up being a valuable savings .
If nothing else , run it long enough to bring the ICE up to " normal " operating temperature . Drive off condensation & keep the seals " wet " .
I would change oil & filter every 6 to 12 months , even if ICE miles were small .
Changing oil & filter " flush " that system . That must be a positive in & of itself .
Check the air in the tires &check the other fluids .
And , no , I do not own a Volt . Still sitting on the fence and researching .
God bless
Wyr
