I know you mentioned baking soda, but for 2 months storage in Thailand (hot and humid) moisture absorbers packs works well. 2 in the cabin, 1 in the trunk
Is it hypothetically possible to make time capsule for thousand years, by putting car in bunker somewhere in place with permafrost? like they do with seed samples to preserve them for future generations. Humidity there is extremely low, and no way someone gonna find car there anytime soon)
Such a great comment, Was just talking to a major car storage house that does about 200 super cars, temperature control, and humidity control are a huge plus! Thank you Jay
Yeah this can be applicable for 10 year storage, but some things need to be remembered to be looked after, and the vehicle will still need to be start don't forget from time to time. Hope this helps!
@@talkingmods for 10+ years of storage, wouldn’t be better to drain the fuel tank as the stabilizer will keep the fuel fresh for up to 24 months? I’ll be gone for about 5 years and I’m not sure if I should drain the fuel tank or use fuel stabilizer. What are your thoughts?
It's good, but in the future try to use an Ester based oil to help protect it for that inevitable next start in say 6 months from now. Ester will adhere to the cylinder walls while even synthetic over time will come to the bottom over time and then you have that inevitable cold startup (which will be metal to metal unfortunately what you want to avoid).
Just want to say this is an underrated comment, have been spending some time researchign this (in particular because of some plug in hybrid research I was doing where the gas engines weren't being used) Stabilizer for the fuel is really important.

By long term, is this applicable for 10 years and above?
