    Storing your car

    Same here....so I've always filled mine up. I guess it would also depend on the environment where the car is stored.

    But I do agree with the point of removing all uneaten sandwiches from the car. That's never a bad idea.

    Been a long time since fuel tanks were vented to the atmosphere, likely why you just don't see them with rust on the inside anymore. Yes back in the day it was very common.

    Not a bad idea to park with tires on foam or carpet to help prevent flat spotting, it's also why I suggested pumping the tires into the 40+ range.

    Rick, I always filled my tank full as well, the bottle of seafoam has a ratio for fuel storage on it, can you clarify if you follow that or are putting a full bottle in half a tank? I like the idea of not having to burn through a full talk of old gas in the spring if it doesn't benefit me to fill it all the way😀

    Me personally I have always filled the tank full before storing to reduce the chances of condensation occurring. That includes adding the proper mixture of fuel stabilizer which is suppose to keep gas fresh for up to 2 years.

    Ron, that will overcharge the battery, I have just disconnected my battery and left in in the car, indoor storage but not heated and the batt always starts perfect when I hook it up in the spring

    ^ Battery tender above is exactly what you'd want to use.
    Yes I've also seen most batteries sit over the winter, even in the cold, and survive just fine.
    No doubt out of the car and on a tender is best for them though.
