Re: Fuel Tank?

My SS is kept in an unheated garage for the winter, and all I do is make sure the tank is kept full, and if necessary, I put a trickle charger on the battery. Whenever possible, ie; no snow;clean roads;etc., I try to drive the SS for about an hour. I've heard its better to drive it than just start and let run?

If you do want to add something, try 'Stabil'.

Can "Stabil" be purchased at any auto parts store?

Re: Fuel Tank?

You dont need to add anything to the fuel if the car is only stored over a winter. (5 months)

If you are going to be storing it for longer periods, like 9 months or several years, use sta-bil.
