None for me....
Stabil fans: oh oh... from a contrarian...
I stored my '82 '80 280ZX Turbo in a cave (old cement mine) located in Wampum PA for.... wait for it.... seven years!! yep... seven. I did not put in any additive, just drove it in, pulled the battery out and left it. The caves are naturally temp and humidity controlled.... this thing was deep in the mountain. My dad and I pulled it out seven years later (OK, maybe 6.5 years). They drive you down in a golf cart.... the tires were near flat despite they say they go around and keep them filled. I put the new battery in, did NOT code in the security numnber (remember those add in systems)..... turned it over about 10 times..... entered the security number..... ZOOOM!!!!! Darn thing started right up!!! Unbelievable. Pumped up the tires and drove back to Dad's house on the interstate... about 1/2 hour drive. Tires were pretty square but smoothed out for the most part about 10 miles out.
No Stabil..... car ran fine...... can't make this stuff up.... Maybe it was the constant storage temperature that resulted in no or little condensation??
