I was able to get out last Sunday, and I made a day of it. But now it is parked, and the mod catalogs are open.

What is good to treat the gas? while it sits for the season.

That sucks...

Stabil works good for gas treatment while in storage.

Mines been parked since the first heavy snowfall mid November. Since then I have installed my Stage 1 air cleaner and just got the cables for the SESPT to flash the ECM. Now all that's left is to do some Smart Tune runs.... sometime in April...
