Hey wisemen/women,

I am going away on vacation for a month and half and i was wondering wat i should do with my car no one
somethings i was thinking of doing are:

- putting the car on jack stands so the tires dont get all wacked out (i have low pro tires)

- leaving the tank close to empty

is there anything else or any comments about wat im going to do

thanks alot

Month and a half? Just leave it. Thats probably not long enough for it to make a difference. If it were 6 months, I'd start doing stuff.

Actually, fill the tank to the top. And disconnect the battery. The car will kill it in 6 weeks just from parasitic draw.

That's it. Don't worry about the tires.

We have an old Caddy that I start up every 6 months or so. (can't smog it)
It's fine. The gas in it is 2 years old with no ill effect. There are enough additives in gas these days, it keeps a long time.

My emergency generator has the same gas in it for 5 years already, though I did put stabilizer in it. It STILL starts on 2 or 3 pulls.

I wouldn't worry about storing cars unless it's for a looong time. But do pull the battery, or put some sort of trickle charger on it.
