I think the topic and poll pretty much says it all.
Assume "long term storage" is at least 6 months, possibly 12. Car will be stored indoors, but not climate controlled. What say the collective? -Rusty (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) |

IMHO, I think it's best to leave gas in the following places:
1. Fuel tank, to inhibit rust. 2. Fuel pump, to avoid siezing up. So to keep the gas good, avgas or Stabil (more likely for those without access to avgas). But after that? The carbs could go either way for me. In the past, I've left them full. The first 200 miles were a bit choppy. First tank of gas to get rid of Stabil, and second with Techron additive - then it ran better. I wonder if simply draining them would have kept everything cleaner (no evaporated residue). |
