Answers:    Differing opinions.
Here's mine, beside explanation for some of the differences.
Remove the tank and unfurnished it.
Storing gasoline is not recommended, even near stabilizer.
If you don't stabilize, varnish and other deposits form (goes bad).
Coat the interior of the tank beside a light grease. Not deisel fuel. Deisel fuel attracts water, the differing of what you want.
Replace the cap.
Store contained by a cool, dry place. Or a place with minimal heat changes. Air entering the reservoir and then cooling can do condensation (water).
Next year, rinse the tank near a small amount of fresh gasoline to remove the oil. Drain.
After this is the best time to check the petcock blind and fuel filter. Clean or replace as needed.

Moisture will attack any exposed steel like around the container mountings,,,,once there you would own to use something like "Rust eater" to slaughter of any rust then over paint,,but you would be better freshly emptying the container and storing it indoors after you heve expelled any petrol fumes from the tank,,,
