Storing the Vette for Winter
It's just about that time to put the Vette away for the winter so let's here your storage procedures.
Do you use sta-bil or something? Carpet under the tires? Tires off and car on stands? Hermetically sealed chamber? |

If using Sta-bil, get the ethanol treatment version. I would start it every month or so, but that is me. Do you have a trickle charger?

Change oil, park it, put it on trickle charge, and cover it. Next spring, enjoy!
I've never put sta-bil in the tank and never had a problem. Never parked on carpet or pads either but mine lives in 80° heated-floor comfort during winter. This winter it will probably be up on stands, as I have a few projects to get done, tires/brakes and some lighting. |
