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) |

I have done both leave in with stabil and drain entire system on my MGA. The year I stored dry all the seals in the carbs were gone, the jets were stuck and the lines rotted. DO NOT EMPTY the fuel system. It is meant to have gas in it. Put in Stabil then run for about 20 miles and park it. When getting back out drain gas from tank replace with fresh, change oil and have fun.... my yearly ritual. ( this is Ohio where of course we can only drive our convertibles five months out of the year (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) ).
Oh yea use the drained gas in your snowblower or lawn mower.... Oh forgot you guys on left coast don't have snowblowers (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) Hope this helped in any way. Todd 1960 MGA 1973 914 1.7L |
