#62 of 63 3 to 5 Months of Storage by jpf

Jul 21, 2011 (9:45 am)

My wife and I have a home in the south and plan to keep a vehicle there throughout the year. The vehicle is a 4 cylinder 2006 Dodge Caravan with 75k miles. The van will sit for 3 to 5 months at a time without being used and will be stored in a carport. Does the battery need to be disconnected? Should I add fuel stabilizer to the gas? Any recommendations are most appreciated.

If it was mine, I'd through some fuel stabilizer in it, and hook up a trickle charger to it. That's what I do with my Harley during the winter months, never a problem.
