There are several things that you need to keep in mind to keep your car in good condition during storage. You will find the following tips very useful for this. The idea is to get your car ready for the storage in order to ensure maximum safety and security for your car so that the next time you take it out, you find it in as good a condition as it is now.

Besides that, when the gas tank is full, the gasoline also tends to vanish at a much slower rate. For better results, you may also like to use additives like Dry Gas or Sta-Bil. But, just adding an additive is not enough. You will have to mix it properly. The best way to do this is to run your car for a minute or two so that it is mixed throughout the engine system. What To Do With Dirty Oil   Make sure that you change the oil before you put your car into the storage system for a long time. Leaving the dirty oil as it is in the car may cause rust inside the engine. Besides that, it may even cause premature bearing failure. In fact, if the period for which you are storing your car is very long, remove the spark plugs. This way, the piston rings will not rust to the cylinder walls. How To Protect The Engine Area From RustOne of the best ways to protect the engine area from rust is to coat all exposed metal surfaces with a lubricant spray. For example, WD40 can be a good lubricant spray for this spray. After you spray the same, it evaporates soon while leaving behind a protective film on the carb body, coils, and hose clamps.
