How to properly store a car or truck for long term or winter storage. We are going to go over the steps that you need to take to properly store your car for an extended period of time. I have been storing this particular Mustang for 11 winter's. We are going to debunk some storage myths and show you some winter storage tips that you may not have heard of. The most important thing that you need to consider is treating the fuel with a fuel stabilizer like Sta-bil. Make sure your car or truck's fluids are in good shape and topped off. Next you need to wash and clean the vehicle inside and out. This will prevent any musty smells while the vehicle is in storage. You should also call your insurance company and put your car or truck on storage insurance. Finally you need to connect the battery to a Battery Tender to keep the battery from discharging while the vehicle is in storage.
