For a few months of non-use, there is no special prep required. I put my Jeep (and other military vehicles) away in the end of September and it does not get started again until May/June. It is in an unheated (temp drops to about -15 in there) quonset. I do like to make sure the batteries are completely charged, and disconnect the neg terminal to prevent battery drain.

Re the non-ethanol fuel.....my military vehicles will not see ethanol as long as I own them. It's liquid crap being sold to us as some kind of renewable energy.
