I always kept mine empty, but I think I will start storing it full:

1. I leave in earthquake country. 40 gallons of drinking water might come in handy some day.

2. my city water has chlorine in it, not enough to sanitize, but perhaps enough to keep stuff from growing.

3. a tank full of water is a tank with no air. some bad stuff that might be tempted to grow in a warm moist environment might not grow in a flood.

I always leave home full of water, because on rare occasions I have reached a destination that had a problem with their water.

Though I keep the tank full, I do not keep the water heater full.

I sanitize once a year, in the spring, done already.

I do not need to winterize.
