Mid-Term Storage?
 
Hi! Just bought a 2006 Shinka A/T last weekend, with about 36,000 miles on it. I've wanted a rotary for a while, and so far I'm not disappointed. I'm going to have to leave it parked for a couple of months soon, though (going out of town), and I wanted to know if there's anything I should do before I leave to keep it in good condition.

Couple months shouldn't be a big deal. Park it with a full tank (avoids condensation) and fill up with ethanol-free gas if it's available in your area (again, avoids condensation). If it was much longer than that, I'd say get some Stabil stuff from whatever parts store, but 2-3 months won't be a big deal.

The car has a sealed fuel system. The only way for moisture to enter is with the fuel. Filling the tank full will help to keep the fuel fresh. As was said above, Sta-Bil is great product to use.
