Default Re: What is the best way to store a car ,gas,,no gas??

Sta-bil and Sea-foam are both really good products....full tank helps stop the condensation....I would not put in any octane boost...it has a tendency to seperate after sitting....hope we are talking months and not years on the storage....if it is years and not going to be started and driven and I already had it dry I would probally leave it that way.

I just did a search on Sea Foam's website. NAPA parts stores carry the stuff, and my NAPA guy highly recommends it.

I would recommend no gas at all. A guy that i know stored his tank full, and during the winter, the temperature changes caused the gas to bubble out of the tank, out the filler neck, and ruined the paint job all down the side of his 50's pickup.

Just my $.02.

I was told that OMC did a huge amount work to get the stuff just right and is a factory authorized product,

I ran a motor that had been sitting outside for 5yrs this summer, thank goodness the guy had the forethought to run the carbs dry, anyway I hosed the cyl's down with WD-40 and carefully worked the motor around and then plugged in some fresh gas with the Sea-Foam in it and within about five minutes of running this motor was idling perfect and
rev-ing cleanly, I am just amazed at how well the stuff cleans and works.

Bud.

Thanks guys for all the comments.The car will be stored in heated storage this winter and a dehumidifier in the warm months.It's a 1 owner 76 TA 455 4spd with 56K on the clock. Im just not sure if I will drive it next summer or not so that is how we arrived at this question.
Thanks again [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
