Tips To Store Your Car For Longtime
There are a number of reasons when everyone need to store their vehicle for an extended period of time.
So if you simply leave your vehicle to sit in a garage or under shade or street side for a long period , you might notice a dead battery or
damaged engine or tires when you return.
Clean your vehicle properly :-
If you are storing the vehicle more longer than a week,
you should change the oil as the used oil contaminants
can damage the engine.
Add a fuel stabilizer after oil change----------It does not only check for the right amount of fuel needed
for the engine but also performs a thorough cleaning of the fuel system,
Filling of the tank also prevents it from
oxidization, ethanol formation and rust build up.
Make sure to spray some fogging oil on cylinder and anti-seize on the top of spark plugs to prevent rusting.
If you want to store the battery, make sure to keep it inside the automatic battery float charger that will
keep it charged for a long time .
But if your car is in ideal condition, battery
will be drained by the vehicle parts.
If someone is available for
checking your vehicle, then
ask him to drive the vehicle
at least for 15mnts once in
every two weeks.
Put vinyl and cardboard on the floor (the parking area) to prevent corrosion due to the tiles or
floors..
Don’t use parking brake :-
The longer use of parking brake makes the brake
pads stick to the rotor. Instead, block the tires
with the help of tire stopper.

prevention:-
The under-inflated tires can develop flat spots if the
vehicle is idle for too long.
For Interior :
Use some moisture absorber in indoors that will prevent the build up of mildew, mold and other
musty odors..
Keep Critters out :-
Always cover the tailpipe and air intake where mice or other critters can easily get a way into the vehicle ..
Keep a piece of paper in between the glass and
windshield wiper blades that will prevent blades from
sticking and leaving a mark on the glass.
Covering the vehicle :-
Get a good quality car cover to protect your vehicle paint from fading up…
