Not sure if I am storing my FJ properly, my tank is in good shape at the moment, during the winter months when its sitting I top up the tank as full as possible with fuel and stabilizer thinking that there is hardly any air space to cause moisture issues that promote rust, is this not good practice to do?

I think your method is fine.

I try and park up most everything with a full tank to stop the rust. Generally I stop at the servo on the way home if possible and make sure it's topped up.

As you say, a fuel stabiliser is best for longer term storage.

I think there have been a number of rants about ethanol and the issues of water separating out, so I steer clear of those as well.
