Winter Storage

["George Riehl" <griehl@xxxx>]

Hi Group,

With just putting the "L" to bed for the winter (even though it is in a
heated building) one important thing to do is to make sure the gas tank is
full. This will keep the condensation down to a minimum. Over the years
this was not done my "L" and the inside of the tank and sender show all
kinds of rust. So much, that it will need to be dropped out and cleaned out
and probably will need to be sealed. Another thing that is a good idea is to
change the engine oil to remove any contaminates that are present. Plus,
put a good quality cover on the car (after washing the car) this will keep
the dust off the paint so the chances of scratching are kept down.
Disconnect and remove the battery. Keep the battery somewhere warm so if and
when it does go dead it will not freeze. If possible lower the windows some
to allow any trapped moisture to escape from the interior as this really
makes a mess of the interior chrome. Another good idea is to put plastic
under the car. This will keep any condensation that comes up from the floor
to collect on the underside of the car. I am sure the rest of the group has
other suggestions that they have used so, lets hear some.....
