Oh one more thing. Most people are just going with a 1/4 tank of gas. This is recommended to not have the sulfur attack the sender.

I put my Corvette away for the Winter. Only thing I have to do is add more air to the tires. Put Stabil in the fuel tank,card board flatten boxes under tires, steel wool in the tail pipes, dryer sheets in the engine compartment,passenger compartment,trunk,on top of the tires and under the body. Any other suggestions.

Supposedly will keep rodents away. I've always wondered if there'a any scientific evidence to support this or if it's just urban myth.

I am a Vette newbie so please be patient with this one........... I went to put stabil in my tank last night and used a funnel and had a rag just in case. Found the first 2 ounces of stabil on the ground not realizing there are two fuel doors and my funnel was not in far enough The rest went in fine once I adjusted the funnel. My son found something on you tube that said a corvette funnel comes w each car, have to look for mine no one ever mentioned that. I used the stabil, new indoor/outdoor/cover, battery tender by Chevy and will inflate tires 5 psi above normal. Will also use cardboard under tires or the plastic like mentioned above. The whole thing is a bummer but winter is just too brutal by me with the pot holes................
PS: Joe we have the same cover, works great!

No need for anything under your tires including plastic unless your garage floor was just poured less than a couple weeks ago.
