Default time out

New to site and would appreciate some help.

Having some surgery this fall/winter so will not drive Panni. How much will I need to have someone get it out say for a two month period. Want it to be at a minimum. Or, can I hook Porsche charger up to it and let it sit that long.
thanks

Top off the tank, put some Stabil or SeaFoam in the gas tank, get the tires up to proper pressure or higher, plug in the charger, and you'll be fine. Best of luck with your surgery.

You don't even need fuel stabilizer. Two months isn't that long. Hooking the car up to a battery maintainer is a good idea, though, because batteries will self-discharge to dead in that period.

Agreed. Tire inflation also is a good idea. If you over pressurize, it will help prevent flat spots though 2 months isn't that long. I would put 'hot pressure' into cold tires. For example, if your fronts normally run cold 29 and hot 33, then up the pressure to 33. Repeat process in back.

Tires to 55-58 PSI. Battery maintainer. Done. Recover. Best to your health.
