good morning all. i hope this does not sound like a stupid question, but i was wondering if it is a good idea to turn the fuel valves off for the engines and genset for the winter. i finished winterizing the engines and genset yesterday, man what a depressing day that was, and i am curious if there are pros and cons for the fuel shut off. i know it probably is a no brainer to some, but wanted to get some advise from the group.
thanks.

I shut mine off any time I'm tied up. It'll up keep that gas in the tanks and gives me sound mind.
