Okay, I just "finished" storing my car and I am wondering if there is anything more I should do.
So far I have:
-fogged the engine with engine storage spray
-removed the battery
-sealed the intake and exhaust with 3 layers of aluminum foil
-car up on blocks.... level...
-gonna be putting mothballs under the car to keep critters out, and put silica gel into the car to keep it dry...
Anything else?

And the big question, to tarp or not to tarp?
(I mean TARP, not car cover... it is stored inside an old barn-type building, so it will be exposed to some snow blowing through the walls, and water dripping on top, any real point in using a tarp or is it just gonna cause me more problems?)

 

Build a frame for the Tarp out of PVC pipe or something to keep the tarp off the car.

 

lol... maybe once I have some time, I'm leaving in about 2 hours...
gotta go back to uni...

 

You fogged the inside of the engine, right?

-put stabilizer in fuel tank, then run engine for 10 minutes (you'll have to refog)
-change oil and coolant
-crack windows about 1/2"

 

Uhmm... yeah...




Sorry, yeah, I put fuel stabilizer in the tank, but because the car is not in running condition right now I just ran it through the fuel lines (fuel pump test connector) for about 10 minutes ( I know this could do bad things to the injectors, but its the best I can do...)

now, why should I crack the windows a bit? (the exterior of the car will end up with snow on it... and there will be silica gel in the interior...)

 

I second, third, and forth this. A tarp on the car can cause the paint to bubble if conditions permit.

 

the best thing you could do is have someone come back every month or so and crank it over for you(not start).

 

Well I think I may be able to do that...

okay, so given the choice of NO tarp, or a tarp resting on the surface of the car, which would you go with?
