storing an accord for the summer
my 91 Accord EX is my 'winter beater' and I am trying to decide whether
to sell it now (drove it a lot this winter BUT out $$s into valves, etc) OR take it off the road (no insurance etc) for the summer - saving me about $500. Not driving it for a few months - what are the issues? Can I (for instance) put stabil into the fuel system and not do anything with it until November? Thoughts? thanx... |

I would also put it up on jack stands and cover the tires with some small tarps (or parts of) to protect the tires from the effects of the sun. Adding fuel stabilizer would probably be a good idea, but, I would also start the car once a week, just to keep every working and putting it in gear to allow the drive train to work as well. -- Brian www.accesswave.ca/~orion If you're not the lead dog, the scenery never changes. |
