Editing Long term storage preparation

{{youcanedit}} Basic procedures for storing a car for a significant length of time. #Change the oil before storing. #If possible, keep tires off the ground. Major advantages are not to stress the tires, another being less area for rodents to grab and climb upon. Use jackstands to accomplish this. #Check anti-freeze for proper freeze protection. #Add fuel stabilizer. #Place cardboard or newspaper under the car to highlight any leaks that may develop while in storage. #Clean and treat interior to prevent cracking. #For long term storage , use a product known as fogging oil....it is in a spray can and you spray it down the intake while running at a high idle then you finally allow the engine to choke down and die. This will coat everything in the upper cylinders with a light lubricant. [[Category:Garage and shop]]
