Drain it and put it in the snowblower!! You'll be smilling all winter long and the wife won't have to ask you twice to take care of the snow!! :-D

of course the fuel salesman side of me says to drain it and put it in a steel drum. But I'm a racer also. When I bracket raced, I ran C12 in my 505bbc. I let it sit in my plastic fuel cell all winter. I ran the same number at the first race in the spring as I did in the fall when I put the car away. Some fuels are very stable. C12 is one of them. Use your own judgement and you'll be fine.

Might depend on your fuel system also. I think MagnaFuel recommends leaving fuel in the pump during storage so seals don't dry out.
