Default Re: Storing For The Winter

We have a routine that has worked for many years:

1...I try to clean the car and change oil/filter/check all the fluids.

2...add fuel stabilizer and run it thru the system

3...over inflate the tires to avoid flat spots...if you have wheel dollys that are 'rounded' they help a lot.

4...depending on the storage environment it helps to have a moisture barrier under the car...also de-humidity bags in and under the car. We also use some dryer sheets in and around to help keep away the critters.

5...the Novas are stored in a shop with radiant heat in the floor...so we don't worry about car bags...cars are covered and we keep a fan running to circulate air around the shop....in the summer we use the fan and a de-humidifier...we keep batteries on small chargers.

6...others are in heated storage and are in car bags...we have used the bags for 15 years without any problems...batteries are removed from these cars.

7...if I have time, I swap any bias plys for radials for extended storage.

I'm sure others have different ideas....but, these have worked for us.

Tuck them in tight Sammy...use a good sleeping bag [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]
