2025 C4 of the Year Finalist - Unmodified
Not for 6 months but what if situations change and it ends up sitting longer? Then it would be a good idea. It’s not too expensive so I toss it in for the “just in case”

agree not necessary but if it feels better then add it. I had a 66 vett sit for a year and a half in my NJ non heated garage, started right up ran great. It was a half tank full perfect recipe for condensation build up and still, BP premium 10%eth gas was fine. A million cars sat in lots long term, no way they get additive right, don't worry about it

6 mos its not really necessary, but it won't hurt it to have it in there.
Main thing is to run all that gas out ASAP when you bring it out.

Will not hurt to put a bottle of something like Sta-Bil in the gas tank. I put some in mine for shorter period of storage time.

I usually dump sea foam in mine at the last fill up before storage. It’s a stabilizer and fuel system cleaner. Getting the tank completely full to reduce condensation and separation with the ethanol fuel helps too. Or at least I’ve bought into that theory and I haven’t had a problem after storage. My car sits in the garage for a full 6 months from roughly October to at least March or April. Lots of salt here in those months.
