09vistablue Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 At some point in the next month I will have to put my car to sleep until the spring. It will be stored in an unheated Insulated garage. Should I fill er up and put fuel stabilizer in it ? or store it close to empty and fill er up with fresh gas in the spring ??? It will be sitting for approximately 5 - 6 months....Damn Canadian winters eh !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you're only talking 5-6 months its not worth draining the tank. Go the easier route of full tank & stabilizer. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hay AwakeinAZ, got to get out to the 1/4 mile for cure and Monsoon Madness for sure. Must be nice, maybe one day when I retire, I will by a place in Arizona and spend the cold 5 months from Canada down there and drive my car year round, I guess the one positive thing is it helps keep the miles down LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, that's 5 to 6 months of time to make mods with no pressure to get it done in a hurry. :happy feet: You have to look at the positive side of things.

JUST 1BULLITT Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Yeah, Battery Tender for sure! DEFINITELY full Stablizer...pour in before you top off the tank; then drive it around for 5 Mins. or so to get it all through the fuel system. I also park the tires on hunks of carpet sections I've cut out AND I pump the tires up high to about 44PSI (HELPS prevent tires from developing those damn "Flat Spots" once you get it out in the Spring!) Plus, the cold weather makes the tires tend to "go soft" on you quickly anyway. My 2 Cents.... Full tank ,stabilizer ,remove the battery or have a batttery tender.
