It's the brand name of a battery charger. It works real well at keeping the battery at full charge with out over charging (cooking) it.

 

Great... thanks for the visual!

 

and the time to do this is getting closer

 

I use this batterycharger,Ctek. I would really recomend it.

It monitors the battery over the winter, applying a trickle charge whenever it senses the battery has discharged and needs topping up.

 

Now, I disagree completely with not using stabilizer.

We've got a boat that recently had to have a costly injection cleaning because we forgot to put stabilizer in the tank. The boat gets out twice a year, and each time now when we fill up we add the stabilizer to keep the injectors from getting gummed up with varnish.

We also rebuilt 3 SU carburetors on our '67 Jaguar that had been sitting for 6 months previous to us purchasing the car.

At the bottom of each carburetor's float bowl, there was a nasty varnish buildup, and the jets of the carburetors were so bad that only 1 of the 3 carburetors was actually working right (1 was stuck, and the other one would alternate between flooding or being sucked dry). We're STILL seeing garbage come through the fuel line from the tank, but not as bad as before.

We've got a stock gravity feed fuel filter (basically a glass bowl that is supposed to allow the particulates to settle to the bottom, while the fuel skims across the top) and a good mesh inline fuel filter as well. The car basically sees car shows and the occasional cruise down to dinner at the town center, but that's been about 5-6 times out in the last year. Stabilizer has helped it from getting worse than it is.

 

Try disconnecting & pluging the fuel line, then run it 'til it dies. Works good for me.

I have concerns about the valve springs being compressed for long periods of storage - up to 6 months. Does anyone loosen up their rockers for long term storage?

 

Sta-bil,Seafoam and NAPA's have all worked well for me
