Winter Storage

[GottaHaveLS1]

Anyone have any recommendations for what i should do when i put my TA away for the winter. I've heard of some formula i should put in the gas. What other maintainences should i do?

Run the gas out. Then add StaBil to the tank at the gas station when you buy fresh gas.

Change the oil/filter to get condensation/unburned fuel and other combustion by-products out

Wash/dry the car and Zaino/wax. Vacuum the interior and lay out some desiccant bags to absorb moisture. You should try to put it on jackstands to get the tires off the ground.

Get a battery minder or battery tender to keep the battery charged

Cover the car with a high quality cover

Insert rags and or cover the tailpipes to keep moisture/critters from getting in - same with the intake

You could also pull the plugs and squirt a little oil in the cylinders - but that could be overkill

You should probably flush/fill the radiator too.
