youll want to leave a full tank in the z while in storage. dry sensors, moisture build up all lead to fuel level indicator issues... plus that last of fuel you cant get out will spoil over time.

Empty tank is only helpful if you run the whole fuel system dry. Feasible (but pointless) in a motorcycle, not feasible in a car.

Don't do this.

yah, not to mention the powder snow getting on your car along with salt dust, then that crap sticking to your glass and paint when your other car 'defrosts' everything in the garage with its warm engine. :ugh:

Pull the oil plug, let loose all the old oil

drain the gas out

drain the tranny fluid

throw er on jack stands, remove tires, deflate and cover

throw on car cover after a good 2-3 hour wax and detailing sesh

As someone who stores 4-5 vehicles every winter, I'd say I'm more knowledgable that most.
