If the gas was relatively new when it went into storage, 6 months isn't
going to hurt anything. Just disconnect the battery. You might put it up
on blocks to keep the tires from getting lumpy. If you wanted you might
add some fuel stabilizer to the gas. But 6 months is not that big a deal
really.

I'm not a big fan of draining gas out of the tank, this will allow
moisture in the air to get in and cause rust. A full tank is better since
when it is full of gas, it isn't full of water vapor.
