I've been told to keep a full tank of gas so moisture won't build up in the tank?

Unhook positive battery cable or you'll be coming back to a dead battery.
Fill the tank up. |

1) My 2010 went dead in 3 weeks sitting in my garage in the summer it's first year. Bone stock. Onstar and XM pinging it are a draw.
2) I've heard some pretty reputable members of this forum talking about a BCM and some other insanely expensive piece of electronics going bad when sitting with no power for 4-5 days. I would not pull the cable. I can't imagine GM designing anything that does $1500 damage if the battery goes dead in winter storage but what do I know. Not worth the risk. Put a tender on it for $20 and forget about it. |

I store my SS for 6-7 months in the winter and I do nothing to it other than fill it up with gas. No trickle charger, no putting it up on blocks, etc. It starts up like I dropped it off the day before. So to answer your question, don't bother doing anything. How long do cars sit on a car lot not being used and they start up just fine?

...and add some Sta-bil to your tank and drive around for about 10 min before you park it.
