Storage Tips for Automobiles
Before you put the car into storage, a few precautions will help keep it in good shape.
Clean And Wax the Finish
Maintain Your Fuel System
The fuel system can be a prime source of problems. If the car is stored with an empty gas tank, the moisture can condense inside the system and cause all sorts of problems like rust and corrosion. To help keep gasoline from deteriorating, pour a fuel stabilizer into the tank. Be sure to drive the car for about 10 miles after adding the stabilizer to make sure it gets circulated throughout the system. It is best to store your automobile with a full tank of gas.
Check Your Oil Level
Fill the engine with fresh oil and then drive the vehicle for a few miles to make sure the new oil gets thoroughly circulated.
Make sure the transmission is in neutral and the parking brake is off; chalk the wheels, then close it up and lock it .
Disconnect the battery and place it on large block of wood away from the vehicle
Stuff steel wool into the exhaust; cover intake and exhaust with plastic bags and duct tape tight
Check Your Coolant Level
Don't let the cooling system freeze during the winter. Drain the system (including the radiator) and refill it with a rust-inhibiting antifreeze.
A vehicle that sits for a long period of time can ruin a set of radial tires. The best way to save those expensive tires is to store the vehicle up on jack stands.
Store convertibles with the top up. Convertible tops can actually shrink if they are left in the down position for an extended period of time.
