Storing your vehicle... questions!!!! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I am storing my car for the winter.. it is going to be in a heated place with concrete on the floor.

I only have two questions...

Should I add a fuel stabilizer in the tank?

Should I jack the car on blocks right under the suspension arms?

i don't. My C6 sat the last two winters in the exact same set up, heated, conc floors and I did not add stabalizer or jack it up and no issues. I did have a battery issue b/c i didn't put it on a tender but an overnight slow charge and she started right up. I guess I will do the same with the Camaro but I will put a tender on it.

I think you only need stabilizer if it is going to be over a year. I only store for like 4 months. December-March

I've been storing antique cars for years in unheated, concrete floored garages. Stablizer is a good idea. I always put down a 10x20 plastic tarp on the floor to park on- keeps the moisture down. I plan on driving my new Camaro at least every week this winter when the roads are dry even though the winters are pretty harsh here in Ct.
These Camaros are new cars, not much is needed.

Stabil and seafoam. There is a longer thread from last week on this.
