Thread: What to Do? Old Gas - Car Sat for 18 Months

(I'm going to have to store mine for 4 months sometime in the next year and am trying to figure out if I'm going to put it up in the air or not.)

were you the one with the tire dry-rotting issue?

I don't see where you should have any problems. I mean think about it, mine sat for over two years.

My brother had a tour there for six. He said it was kinda cool. But, I guess it,s all in what you'd be doing there. You in the Navy? Army guy here. Basically all the same if you ask me. Especially since most everything gets contracted out now. Anyways, If ya need anything while your gone, hit me up and I'll see what I can do. And I mean that!

Sorry about that. Sounds like you have a pretty awsome job. I'm a light wheel vehicle mechanic. Go figure HUH! Didn't mean any insult for the Navy bit. I love joking on my brother about it. At one point I was thinking about going Air Force, but everyone I talked to said there was a long waiting list of some kind to get in. Don't know, but here I am doing what I need to do.

Man I feel like a donkey. I just thought about it and looked at your screen name. That should have told me.
