XJ sittin for a while

Not sure if this is the right area but wasn't sure.

Anyways, I parted my XJ out and as of now its sittin on 4 jackstands. Its going to be like that for a little while but I am going to throw some stock axles under there so I can get it on the ground at least.

But my question is should I be doing anything to it while it sits there? Pour anything in the gas? Take the battery out? Anything.....?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks guys.

remove fuel and battery

How long is awhile? I would suggest starting it up once a week if you can and running it up to operating temp to keep the juices flowing. Might not be necessary but would definitely help.

How would I go about removing the fuel? Is there just a syphon (sp?) I can purchase?

And a while is.....well it hasnt been started in over 2 months or so and it'll probably sit probably for another year or so or till I gain interest again.

depressurize fuel on fuel rail. disconnect fuel line from filter siconnect starter and turn the key like you were trying to turn over the truck.
