Convert the brake fluid to DoT-5 Silicone Brake Fluid, and fill the 
gas tank to the top. Make sure that the gas tank overflow hose is 
intact; you want to minimize air exchange and evaporation from the 
tank.

It would also be good for your engine to change the oil just before 
you store it.


The first thing will save you lots of time and money, and the second 
PROBABLY will.
