i'm going to be out of the country for some time and I need to store my S2K for the entire time. It'll be indoors, but do you guys have any tips on what I should do? It'll probably be at least 3 months. Here are some things I've heard

Jack the car on stands
Take the battery out and hook it up to a continuous charger
Spray the inside of the cylinders to prevent rust (i'm in AZ so i don't think this is a concern)
Plug the exhaust so nothing gets in

 

Don't know how your rodent problem is out there... but I've heard numerous stories out here in pa of people storing cars and having rats or mice getting into parts of the car, making nests, chewing through wires, etc. Moth balls will keep them out, they hate the smell!

 

1) Fill Gas tank to full
2) Place moth ball and dessicant pad on a plate and set one on the floor on each side of the car.
3) Change Oil and all other fluids you feel like changing. The more the better in my opinion
4) Wash, Dry and Wax car very good. Be sure to blwo the air out of the cracks.
5) Park car on thick foam to prevent flat sport in tires
6) Place Decon under and around the car.
7) Plug Exhaust & Intake with cloth
8) Inflate tires 5-10 psi higher than you would normally have them, but do not exceed the max psi for the tire.
9) If you have a car cover, wash it and then place it on the car
10) Say good night and try not to cry too much.

Hope that helps.

fill gas tank to full?

i feel i always hear to empty the tank as much as possible???

 

you fill the tank to the highest because you dont want any debris to come in contact with the fuel pump i believe. and do you want to come back to your car with an empty tank?!

 

^ its not that, i too heard for it to be less gas, its cause the fuel will get old
