I want to prevent the dreaded dry rot in my plastic tanks. Some people leave fuel in them but the fuel breaks down after a period of time and leave sludge in the bottom. Or flush fuel every few months in the tank?

Long term storage, an interesting topic not just for tanks.

NO fuel, dark place.

I agree, keep the tank out of the UV rays in a dark part of the shed. Keeping it full of water may help.
