I would avoid storing them dry. That just allows everything to rust. I prefer to top up the gas tank to minimize the amount of air in there, because natural changes in barometric pressure "breathe" air in and out of there and that air brings in humidity which will condense if the temps drop. Both oil and gas will keep things from rusting, as long as those things are immersed. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
