What are your best storage tips?
**THIS IS NOW AN EDITED LIST TO INCLUDE OTHERS SUGGESTIONS**
-Wash and wax car.
-Clean the interior, particularly of any bits of food.
-Cover with a breathable cover.
-Fresh oil change to remove any contaminants.
-Test antifreeze.
-Fill tank with non-ethanol fuel with fuel stabilizer. (I think Sta-bil or VP)
-Mouse traps and rodent repellent.
-Keep battery charged.
-Drive car before parking to ensure exhaust is dry.
-Fog engine for extra protection.
-Put a vapour tight cover on gas tank filler tube. *Leave a note reminding you to remove it in the spring!
-Over-inflate bias ply tires to prevent flat spotting. You can also roll your car a bit periodically to prevent this.
-Place a can over the tail pipe to keep mice from nesting in exhaust system.
-Mothballs to protect interior.
-Avoid starting car unless it can be completely warmed up.
