Best of luck man. I'm not gonna give input, but stay safe and thank you for your service to our country!

 

THX..Unfortunately I dont have the oppurtunity to start my car up while I am gone. I hope everything works out for me I dont want to come back to a headache...

 

My car sit for a whole year and all I did was put fuel stabilizer in it and disconnected the battery. I did my R&R leave at the 8 month point and when I came home, I connected the battery and she started right up. Where will your car be stored? (what state)?

 

My car will be in San Diego, CA...Im going to park it on base and cover it with a car cover from american muscle...definately disconnect the battery..now how much gas did you have in your tank if that even matters...and where did you get the fuel stabilzer from what brand??

 

Deployment is great for cars!!! I bought my Cobra from an Army guy. The entire time he owned it he was on deployment. 60k mile cobra for me!!

Ive heard bad things about royal purple and lengthy sitting. Just sayin.

 

I dont use Royal Purple ..thx

 

Wasnt saying you did.. It's just the only thing I've heard about making a car sit for a period of time.


Just trying to help. Thx

 

Full tank of gas and let it run for a couple minutes with stabilizer in it. Stabil is a good brand but probably any of them will work. You can find it at any auto parts store. Disconnect battery, if you are lucky it may still work next spring. If you have a way to store the battery somewhere where it can be plugged in get a battery tender (not a charger, it will over charge and cook it) and put on it. Fresh oil before and after. I would clean/replace air filter when you get home too. GL, take care, come home safe and thanks for your service.

 

My friend, that car cover will be a waste of money. I promise you within a month of you being gone, it will have flown off. Also, being that you are storing your car in San Diego you should't have any issues. Like I said eailier, I stored my car (in my garage) for a 8 month stint and it get's cold as hell in Missouri. Like someone else said you can buy the stabilizer from any parts store.

 

So full tank of gas, oil change and let the stabilizer run thru the engine for a few mins. OK sounds good. As far as the car cover I am going to bungee it down or something. I am going to find a way so it wont blow off. I dont want my car sitting in the sun.
