HERE is what i do every year fill tank with gas,then dump required amout of STA-BILL in with the gas.Without it a full tank of gas can still go bad. then I pull it in the garage roll up the window's and shut it off. i NEVER put it on jack stand's or use moth ball's to each his own. I like to on a nice winter day throw the gargae door up once in awhile and back the car out of the garage and let it run for a bit,YEP never have taken the battery out either occ. I trickle charge it right where it is in the car.Nuttin better then listening to a big block on a clear cold day in january

filling the tank has nothing to do with the gas going bad. it is so there is less room for moisture to get in the tank and create rust. also, by starting your car on a "nice winter's day" all you are doing is letting moisture build up in the exhaust and condensation in the engine, so when the car sits again, the moisture can do it's damage. nothing major will usually go wrong (except the exhaust will rot out quicker) but it's not good practice to do either

RE: Time to store the car.
I installed a forced air gas furnace on the weekend with some freinds it is a direct vent so no major work involved. And also a 10btu ac unit with its own 4 inch duct. I had my new engine in the garage for 2 or 3 months of the summer and with the temp changes in the boston area after a cool night it was wet by the hot day and then can the rust of the non painted portion of the block. The block just about everthing is painted now but the idea of rust I can stop why not.

on the outside of motor absolutely it will condensate.If there was water build up on the inside of any motor which get's run regularly then parked and started once in a blue moon (and warmed up to full temp) Id be amazed. there would be water in the oil of everymotor in the world !

Amen to that brother. We just have Earthquakes and Dust storms and Wild Fires.
By the Grace of God we survived the last fire. It burned around us along both canyons and we were up all night but, it never lit us up. I was actually under the belief that I was going to lose my car. Our canyon was evacuated but we stayed behind and helped to save 3 homes besides our own.
It may be cold, well colder than normal, be we can still cruise on Fri/Sat nights during Dec-Feb months.
