Storing your Z

issforged · 04-08-2011, 01:11 PM

another thing that should be kept in mind is to keep a full tank of gas

you dont want any rust to develop inside the gas tank because of the exposed metal...even though its sealed, theres a little bit of risk of it

it happened to me in my RX7 FD...i left it for about 6 months as i had the motor out and was building the car with an empty gas tank, rust developed inside the tank and it clogged up the fuel filter...i ended up having to put in a new tank to be safe!!

6 months really is not that long in the grand scheme of things. even gas stabol wouldnt be necessary. you can if it will help you sleep better. being in florida.. temps wont be getting down enough to hurt your tires too much, but then again, 6 months isnt long.

when i deployed, i simply put the batt on a tender and told my buddy whos garage it was being kept in not to touch it. start it or anything. ive heard once every few months is good tho. once a week isnt necessary. I got back and car was perfect. and this was in wyo in the winter. the cold caused flatspots on the tires that worked themselves out in about 3 miles once i got her back on the road.

hope this helps and have a good safe deployment!
