What would you do to store your car for 3+ weeks?
 
Will be storing it for 3+ weeks, and isn't gonna be started or moved. It'll be in my garage covered ... what else would you'll do? Battery? Fuel? battery tender?

I know 3-4 weeks isn't that long, but would like to see what others do.

Fill it up.....park it, and cover it. I have done it many times. My car started out life as my daily driver, after a little over 50,000 miles after I moved, I have another car as my DD, and my Camaro sits most of the time other than weekends. HOWEVER, do to work at times it can go a month or so with no movement at all......Never had a problem, and that's been for over a year now.

3-4 weeks? I would park it, walk away, and not lose a minute of sleep on it.

It certainly would not hurt to throw a product like Sta-bil in the tank. Battery may be an issue. I have heard of some newer cars going dead after 3-4 weeks sitting due to all the computers. Maybe a battery tender if you have one but I don't think I would buy one just for this occasion.

Park in secured garage, lock doors, walk away.

Getting the advice of a Bokor can't hurt, never can have too many loas on your side; probably rada loas would be best, like Maitre Carrefour but be careful. Just a suggestion, but I would leave rum and gunpowder, not candy, as an offering.

Nothing. Half the people on here probably drive their cars less often than that and don't even consider them stored.

+1

my garage queen can sit for up to a few weeks in the garage depending on weather and I don't do anything special. Too short-term to worry.

Three weeks isn't storing a car. You have nothing to worry about except for the lost time not enjoying it.

Yup.

I store mine for a month at a time, every other month - Full tank, Covered and a (25') battery tender QD extension cord connected and the extra cord stored on the splitter, under the cover. I will connect the QD cord to a battery tender a day or two before I plan to start it.

Living in AK, and working remote, I park my car all the time. Every other 2 weeks, for 2 weeks at a time while I'm at work, it sits. From October - April, it doesn't move or even start at all. The only thing I ever do is Sta-Bil for the winter storage. 3 weeks, just like a lot of the people above said, is nothing to even think about. Park it and walk away. Miss it, and enjoy it when you get back.
