At present I have an Eldorado that is in storage.
Has not been run for a year. Battery is pulled
and gas tank is full of fuel and gas stabilizer.
I have no plans on running it for at least a year,
probably 2. Questions are:
1. Should I drain tank and carbs?
2. What's the best way to prevent corrosion
in empty gas tank?
3. I have Del Ortos, is the most distal nut on the
carb the one to remove to drain the carb?
Any words of wisdom will be appreciated.
All the Best,
Todd
