leaving for a trip, how much gas should I leave in the car?
I am going be out of the country for roughly one and half month. So basically the car will be garaged untill I come back. My question is how much gas should I leave in the tank? Half, less than half or I shouldn't even worry about it for such a short time.
thanks |

You shouldn't really worry about it. But if you are worried, fill it to the brim.

A fuel tank should be stored full(or completely empty and purged) to reduce condensation in it...fill it

Leave you parking brake off if you can. The brakes can cease a for bit upon returning due to rust.

Worst problem I have had letting a car sit for a month was brake rotor rust (1 time so bad they had to be turned). Can you get someone to drive it around at least once a week?
