Storing My SS Questions
Guys ...It's time to store within the next few weeks...I am not keeping
it here at my place...I got a place that is covered (of course) but NOT HEATED...No electricty access... 1) When you diconnect the negative terminal do you keep the battery in the car or take it out... 2) I will be parking on thick rubber floormats to keep from flatspots... 3) Gonna make sure it's full of Sunoco 94 ... 4) And cover it with factory car cover... This is the first vehicule i store and don't keep at home in my garage... Am i missing something here Thanks a bunch guys...

2) To prevent flat spots, pump the tires up to 40-42 PSI as well 3) Add the appropriate amount of fuel stabilizer to your gas tank for the amount of fuel left in it. 4) Given how you're storing it (in a barn?) I'd throw a few pans of mothballs under the car and around its perimeter to keep the mice away! Best regards, Elie

>> Add the appropriate amount of fuel stabilizer to your gas tank for the amount of fuel left in it.
A must if your running ethanol blended fuel. To learn more about the problems with this fuel GoldEagle, manufacturer for Stabil has compiled a pretty good page on the subject. http://www.goldeagle.com/engine_care/411onethanol.aspx

Concrete floor?
Put it on jack stands. Start once a month and put it in gear. Gets fluids thru the rear gears and tranny. Getting it up to temperature gets rid of moisture in the fluids..... |

No necessary changes needed, possibly start once or twice a month. Nothing else necessary.

The chassis/suspension is designed to be under load, do not suspend the car

1) Take it out and store in ur house at room temp.
2) I do that but jack it up and let it rest on jack stands if u can to take the stress off the suspension & no flat spots 3) Don't forget a bottle of Stabil fuel treatment 4) Yes but a microfiber lined car cover is better
