Return to article: How to Care for an Antique Automobile
on 2/22/2008 great article
on 12/26/2007 I suggest really paying attention to the fuel. If it isn't used enough to burn it all out periodically I find it best to get it out and use it up in something else. The additives in almost all fuels become a problem with time. Stabilizers help quite a bit. Also, if the vehicle is to be laid up for an extended time it is far better for carbs to run them dry of fuel as many old type floats can absorb fuel and the setting would then be wrong and it's tricky to near impossible to dry them out when they are soaked enough. I manage to be able to use a now 60 year old even if a year goes by without starting it! Enjoy your piece of of history....
