[DeTomaso] Preparing a car for long term storage

Remove air filter spray into carburetor of idling engine and turn off. The Stabil version suggests to also then remove spark plugs and spray into each cylinder.

Thanks for the hint. How is it used? I don't see instructions on the webpage, just msds sheets, technical info, etc.

Dear Charlie,

          I am told that this is useful.  I use it in my spare engine.
Easy to use and may be available in Spain.
