When preparing to store an ATV, which step is NOT advisable?

Clean the vehicle thoroughly
Leave fuel in the tank
Seal openings to prevent pests
Disconnect the battery

The correct answer is: Leave fuel in the tank

Leaving fuel in the tank is not advisable when preparing to store an ATV. Fuel can degrade over time and lead to several negative consequences such as the formation of varnish and deposits in the fuel system. If the fuel sits for extended periods, it may cause starting issues or affect the engine's performance when the vehicle is brought back into use. Storing the ATV with a full tank can also lead to condensation inside the tank, which can promote rust and damage the fuel system. In contrast, cleaning the vehicle thoroughly removes dirt and contaminants that can cause corrosion when left unchecked. Sealing openings is a preventative measure to keep pests out, helping to ensure that the internal components of the ATV are undamaged. Disconnecting the battery prevents drainage and potential damage during the period it is not in use, preserving its functionality for when the ATV is taken out of storage.
