Re: [Chrysler300] Winter Storage

[Gary Barker <gbarker@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you have any rodents, put some poison on  or in the engine 
compartment.  Thats been my worse problem.  Next put a pad of very 
coarse steel wool or better one of those stainless steel scrub pads in 
each exhaust pipe.   Add some Fuel Stabilizer to your fuel tank , make 
sure its mixed well, top off the tank and run the engine long enough to 
get it in the carb.   If possible is good to disconnect or clamp off the 
fuel line and let the engine run until it runs out of gas.   Another 
thing you should do all  year round is put a table spoon or more of new 
Baking Soda in your radiator and also let it run.  Neutralizes the   
acid in your cooling system.  Raise your tire pressure to help keep the 
side wall from breaking down while setting.   I keep my windows open a  
inch or so.   I think it helps a little amount of fresh air.  Who 
Knows.  If the oil hasn't been changed lately,. now is a good time.  Get 
that acid and chemicals out of that pan.  Then last disconnect the 
Battery cable,  if you don't take the Battery out.
  I'm sure everybody has different ways , but these are the ones I use. 
They have been approved buy the Good Car keeping Seal from the Barker 
Home.    Gary Barker
