Re: storage

One more note: If you put fuel stabilizer in the tank (with low or no 
fuel) make sure you run the engine a few minutes to get the 
stabilizer into the Furl plumbing. Just by empting the tank OR 
putting stabilizer into the tank without running the car won't 
protect the inner fuel system. Any fuel left in the pipes without the 
Stabilizer will turn to varnish. If the tank is emptied it is still 
recommended to add fuel stabilizer to the tank, run the engine then 
empty it. The stabilizer contains an oil that will protect the fuel 
system from developing any rust in it.

Also when using Fogging spray (recommended if storing for a long 
period of time) make sure you use FOGGING spray. You can get it at 
your local Pep Boys, it's in a black can with gold lettering and it's 
under the name I believe "Golden Hawk". Fogging spray is very heavy 
and when sprayed into the cylinder (through the spark plug holes) 
will produce a heavy fog of Oil so that it coats the entire cylinder.
