Tips for those of you that put your car away for the winter:

• Isopropyl dry gas
• Fuel stabilizer
• Battery tender
• Proper coolant protection

Before storing, poor in a bottle of STA-BIL fuel stabilizer, isopropyl dry gas and top up the tank with fuel.

If the weather is wet, warming up your brakes by dragging them lightly the last hundred yards or so, will help dry the brakes and discs and prevent rust damage on these components during storage.

The storage garage should be dry and rodent free.

The battery should be disconnected and removed from the vehicle or a battery tender (a small inexpensive self-regulating electric charger) should be installed.
