Personally, I'd throw some sta-bil in, throw some desiccant packets into the car (easy to make your own from silica based cat litter), and either remove the battery (to be put on a tender at some other location) or have the tender at the car.


Personally I'd be more worried about the weather getting to it if it's not in shelter.
This. I've had motorcycle tanks rust quickly and fuel gel in the carbs within a month or two. Fill the tank and use a fuel stabilizer. The ethanol in fuel will absorb water and degrade the fuel more quickly than gasoline of the old days.
