Hey quick question im putting the car in storage now i held on to it as long as possible . But with some bad weather coming in the next week or so its time. I bought some Sta-bil and plan on adding some to my full tank of gas but on the back of the bottle it says it help preserve the gas in 2 and 4 cylinder engines. Is it safe to put it in? Im sure its safe but i just wanna double check. I didn't see any other type so im guessing its just this one. Thanks for the help. Its going to be a long 3 months.

I don't think it says that at all. If you re-read the back of the bottle, I think you will find that it says "2 & 4 cycle engines".

Stabil is good stuff. Been using it myself for 10+ years.

No problem!

I keep Stabil in stock here at home. I use it year-round in my '98 car since I drive it so rarely.

fuel stabilizer is a good idea.

I am so bad about not using that. Never an issue in all the years I have had F bodies. My advice as that you throw a battery tender on there and make sure the coolant is up to snuff.

LOL. That's been my experiance with battery tenders.... never used one, never had an issue.

That too, this is the first year I got one. To be honest, if the car was not going to be driven, or started for at least one year. Put it up on stands, drain the coolant completely and put fresh oil and gas in the tank. Expect to have to drain them before starting the car again.

Different styles of storage I guess. For one or two years of storage I see no reason to do any of that really. I would never drain the coolant out, so long as it was reasonably fresh and set to the proper specs. Oil, again, if it was reasonably fresh I would just change it when the car comes back out. Gas can be stored for about 2 years with the proper amount of Stabil, and the engine will still fire up and run just fine. And if you insist on putting the car on stands, make 100% sure that you're properly loading the suspension when you do so (don't let the wheels hang). Truth be told, I wouldn't bother putting the car on stands at all, modern steel belted radials don't permanently flat spot that easy (competition tires would be a different story). I once stored an old Cadillac (5200lbs) for 7 years on it's tires, and they were perfectly smooth after just a few miles of driving.
