Next year run a tank with the water fuel treatment then a fuel system cleaner before your oil change

I usually run a tank or two through the car after storage before getting the oil changed. I mean it's generally fresh oil since I do change pre storage too.

Thanks, mishuko.

The northeast leg of Edmonton's Anthony Henday Drive "ring road" has finally been completed.
Electronic sign shows vulgar message of relief about Anthony Henday - Edmonton - CBC News

It was a difficult, expensive project that made life a living heII for those who had to make their way through that part of the city.

Because the weather is so nice today, my wife and I are going to use the Z for our maiden voyage all the way around Edmonton on the Henday, starting and ending at the 111 St. south access. This will burn a good portion of the 1/2 tank that remains, and on the remaining good-weather days before snow, we'll continue to use the Z for the necessary short trips that we would normally make in our Outlander.

When the gas-gauge reads "---", we'll drive another 30 or so KM and then fill to about 3/4 with V, plus the recommended dosage of Stabil; then do some spirited driving to mix; then go back and fill to the nuts with V.

After our drive around the Henday and trips to burn the remaining fuel, I think we will have put on about 1,400 km (870 mi) on the Z this driving season, so the vehicle will have approximately 10,200 km on the odo when we put it into storage.
