What I must do with meth when I store my car for 4 months ?

I will store my car for next 4 months. And what I must to do with the meth in my tank (in my trunk). For now I have 40% of meth vp m1 and 60% of alcool denaturate. I can damage my meyth kit if the meth/alcool stay in tank ? My car will be in the garage at 60 degres.

Thanks for your help

You can leave it in the trunk I think, or remove and put it in a sealed bottled. Everything should be meth safe in the system so I wouldn't worry as there will be no power to the system so the meth won't be leaking or going anywhere.

Blow out the lines. Meth is corrosive so don't let it puddle up in the lines.

Depends on your meth mix concentration..if its less than 70% meth I wouldn't worry about it...if its above that certain kits like the coolingmist one aren't compatible with higher than 70% meth concentrations and will damage your pump seals and flow sensor...
