Hi guys, think its a good or bad idea draining the alky pump for the winter? I did mine anyways, I also like fresh oil in the car for the winter, cover and trickle charge the battery all winter. Any other suggestions??

Block the tires off the ground so you won't get flat spots and some fuel stabilizer would help.

Might help to pull the Alky line, put a quart of water in the reservoir and blow the water through it using the test button.

Why do you have to remove the meth mixture for the winter?
Is it hard on the seals of the system? The alcohol will not freeze.
Oh, he is Canadian , so it would be a liter of water

Water in the pump will freeze, I could think I prefer for it to just be empty for the winter.
