quick winter storage question

Anarky · 12-13-2011, 07:28 PM

I know the basics of what to do for winter storage. Thanks to many other usefull threads. My question is can anyone recommend a good fuel stabilizer.

Also my tires are filled with nitrogen and not sure if over inflating would still be recommended. I've never had a tire filled with nitrogen. It came that way when I bought it. Any advice would be appreciated.

I've always used Sta-bil, on quite a few vehicles over the years. Many others I knew did too.

(That's when I had winter to worry about

)

yah, the little bottle vs 20gallons is not going to make much of a difference.

in that respect i dont put anything foreign in mine. just a full tank of gas.

I don't think you have to worry about your tires, the whole point of Nitrogen is that it's not as sensitive to temp changes like regular air tires are.

the over inflating is to minimize flat spots if it's on a cold concrete floor all winter long.

i would just roll the car forward/aft 1-2ft every 3-4wks or turn the tires by hand, or place on flatstoppers.
