RE: [DML] Just too costly, now after i made myself look foolish...

Tommy - I store my car through the Minnesota winters. All I do
clean it real good, crack the windows a little, remove the battery
and put it on a trickle charger. I usually make sure the fuel tank
is topped off with good quality gasoline, and I over-inflate the
tires about 5 lbs. That's it. When putting the car back into
service, I change the oil and filter, and alternating years I
change out the coolant or the brake fluid. The car has always
started right up in the spring. This has worked through 9
winters of cold storage, and one in a heated garage. This
system has also worked for 3 other cars I store over the winter,
with no undue degradation mechanically or cosmetically.

Dear DML,

[snip]

However, I do have a hypotetical question which people may respond
too. Say I had a car that ran quite well, and i decided to put her
up for the winter, and not even turn her over once for, oh say 6
months. What else do i do besides drain the gas out of the tank to
keep the fuel system from rusting/rotting?

Anyway, take care, and Sorry John, i wish i could do it.
