personally, I'd empty it out, let it dry out real well, maybe put a little chemical in there to absorb moisture, and seal it up.

in other words, clean it out, and store it. I'd put a coat of wax on the outside just to prevent exterior rust, and possibly box it up to protect the exterior from scratches and dents.

I'd bring it to all the parties and drink Jack and coke outta it.
2 gallons of jack and 2 gallons of coke is all you need

i'd put it on the bike and fill it up

isn't that a good option or am I missing something lol

I would suggest you don't store it outside just laying in the grass, mine rusted pretty quicly that way
I should mention that the tank I did this with was mostly destroyed and worthless before i did that so I didn't care if it got rusted

I would drain tank and add a little 2 stroke oil to the quart of gas you left in there. Every great once in awhile, I would shake it up.
