Default long term storage

Hello everyone. I'm new to website. My wife has been driving her 1994 LT1 and we have decided to put the car in moth ***** for at least a year. It has been sitting for about 1 year already and I need to drain the fuel and anything else that should be done for long term storage. I need to know the best way to do this. The car is in great shape with approx 83,000 miles. Any help would be appreciated.

Default RE: long term storage

You could drain the coolant. I don't think the orange stuff is to bad but the Green stuff breaks down and become a acidin time. Run it out of gas or put stabilzer in it. If you can get the weight off the tires and spring that helps. I use cardboard over a jack stand right under the frame. Vasiline the tires. I am sure i am forgetting something.
