![]() I dont see a point in filling the tank up if your not going to start it until spring. All you will have is a full tank of bad gas in the spring time. You could put some "Stabil" sp? as stated before, to keep the gas fresh, but again, why.
For the cars I don't start for a while I will spin the oil pump before I start it. Most of the time I pull the car/ cars out when the weather is nice and fire them up. Weekly or when ever possible. You can always invest in a oil circulator. I used them in the past on very expensive motors. Basically you can throw a switch and the oil will circulate, then you can safely start it up. A synthetic motor oil will stay on the bearings, etc longer than a regular oil. I think everyone agrees a dry start will damage your motor, the longer you wait the worse it will be. Putting the car up on stands and releaving the suspension is a great idea, already posted. Unhooking the battery is always a great idea. I usually have a master cut off switch on my stored or hot rod cars. The older Ford alternators will catch fire from time to time.
