Hi Volks,

So, exciting and all, I am moving overseas for 18 months, and the

airline told me that I can't take my Westie on Carryon.  As such, I need

to store it, and I need some expert advice.

Here's the situation:  

I am in Canada, and it will be stored outside (I know, but I had to rent

the garage), so the weather will vary from +90 Fahrenheit to -30 each

year, so there is definite freezing issues.  It will be probably tarped

up, maybe putting some sort of sheet over it first to protect what is

left of the paint...  I should be able to come home and start and run it

every 4 months or so, but that's a best case scenario, so probably more

like 6 month intervals, especially through the coldest parts of winter

when it won't start anyways.

Here's my questions:

1.  Rust stop... it's rusting in places (obviously)... any advice to

protect it?  I will be painting it upon my return, so protecting from

rust-throughs would be nice

2.  Engine prep - what should I do here?  Drain gas?  Heavier/lighter

oil?  I have no idea

3.  Batteries probably go inside to heated house?

4.  Propane tank?

5.  Obviously drain water tank, but anything else I should do? 

THANKS SO MUCH IN ADVANCE!!!

James Costello
