My car has pretty much been under its cover for the last week. It needs an alternator, but it is going away for the winter anyway so I will just do the alternator over the winter/spring. I am going to bring it to fill up the tank and then bring home and detail before putting it back under the cover for good.

Do I need to use a fuel additive to keep the gas from going bad? It will basically be sitting in my driveway/garage for 4 months. I am not going to even be taking it out on nice days simply because of the salt on the roads. I don't want to have my gas go bad and have to live off ****ty gas my first week back on the road with the stang.

Thanks for any replies.

PS: Any other garaging tips would be great.

 

anyone?

 

Sure dump in some fuel stabilizer the stuff is cheap enough & there's no downside. Make sure you RUN the engine for about 5 minutes after dumping the stuff in the tank so it gets pulled up the fuel lines & into the injectors too.

Some guys might say you don't need stabilizer for a "short 4 month" storage, but hey like I said, the stuff's cheap do it anyway. Hell I put the stuff in my lawnmower & weedwacker too lol

And make sure U fill the tank FULL to the top to avoid condensation.

 

Yes add a bottle of fuel stabilizer, and fill the gas tank right to the top. This will avoid condensation build up.
Start the car every 2 weeks or so, and let it run for about 15 min.

 

Nice car GreyStang. I always wondered what my car would look like as a convertible.
