preping my 240 for winter storage?

[Pencil Shavings]

Hey guys Im about to put my 240 away for winter (I live in rochester NY ). What should I do to prep it? I will be storing it in a barn, and so far Ive gathered that I should put Bounce (the stuff from a dryer) in the cabin, trunk, under the hood, everywhere..to keep the mice and rats out, plus it helps inside with any mildew and smell. Also disconnect the battery. Anything else? gas tank additives? how full should the tank be (is half tank bad because the gas gets crappy, or good incase condensation forms in the tank?)

Thanks in advance!Dan

i used that sta-bil stuff last winter, seemed to work pretty good , car never had a problem or anything...dont know how good it works but if it doesnt do anything bad it cant hurt to put it in

the other thing with the mice and stuff is put an old towel or something in your exhaust, keeps them from crawling up the pipe

how similar is your snow pattern to ours, you get lake effect off Ontario too right? theyre saying were going to have a pretty bad winter

our winters are somewhat similar, i think you guys normally get a bit more..my grandparents live in camilus (sp?). i actually just bought my 240 close to 'cuse, right off electronics parkway, mid august. its my first 240, ive been looking for one off and on for a good 3 years now, so im excited.

I jsut store mine in a garage with a half tank of gas.. battery conntected everything the same way as if I jsut parked it to go inside. I did it last year while aat school and doing ti this year while at school. NEVER HAD A PROBLEM doing it this way.

But I would start it up once a week.

yeah i would say you dont really need any storage prepping, unless your putting it away for a long time. not just a few months. just make sure to start it every once in awhile, and keep at least a half tank in it.

i most likely wont be starting it for 6 months...should i dump some oil in the valve cover before i start it after its been sitting that long?

i think the best bet would be to rent a storage garage for the winter, those things are sealed perfectly. and only you can get into it.

get something that will keep the octane active in your tank and just seal it up tight.. i would purchase a heavy car cover, i already have, they are sold at your nearest Advance Auto Parts for a little over 20 dollars, they are a size S for Small..
