Re: winter storage question

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxx>]

The "best" way to prepare the fuel system in the car for storage is to
remove the fuel. It is not that difficult. Remove the curved access
panel under the spare tire, loosen the hose clamp around the fuel pump
boot and lift the pump boot and all out of the tank. Now just siphon
or vacuum the fuel out. Inspect for any water or dirt and reassemble
making sure not to turn the pump and boot (replace in the origional
position). IMHO this IS the best way because if for some reason winter
storage becomes long term storage (it happens) then the fuel isn't
there to go bad. Also in the Spring (or whenever) now you are starting
up with clean fresh fuel without the stabalizer (which lowers octane,
bet you didn't know that!).
