Car storage services
would have looked after your car, but then again, before you hit the road there
are five simple yet very important rules you ought to follow before you take
your beauty out. Read on and get her roaring in no time.
1. Drain and properly dispose of the gas in the carburettor, the tank as well as the fuel lines. This is because if there is any bad gas, it will be a problem for the car to start. Besides, replace, empty and flush out the coolant. Quite a lot of coolants have rust inhibitors that make sure the car works smoothly i.e. not rust while it is not running. Washing it out will help avert blockage and overheating the next time the temperature goes up.
2. Change
the oil and its filter. When you have kept your car in storage for a long term the oil that was used has probably
been spoiled and needs a replacement.
3. Give
the battery a fresh charge and ensure that it has been kept tepid while you
take care of the other things. For instance, you can check whether your brakes
are working fine and smooth before you take it on the road. Furthermore, while
the car is running make certain you let the oil that has been put in the
cylinders lubricates the walls for a smooth drive. Check the tires to make
certain that they have the right pressure.
4. Take
out all of the spark plugs from the engine block and give them an immediate
cleaning. If it is not possible to clean i.e. you find them slimy or oily and
dark, change them. Into the cylinder transfer a little amount of motor oil.
This will help put a stop to rust formation.
5. Make
it a point to check that the gears are not engaged, lower the clutch and give
it a little bit of gas or simply choke and turn in the key and hear the car just
like you did when you first got it.
And, yes, don’t forget to enjoy the ride!
