Hi,

Yes. Keep the fuel pump submerged to prevent it becomes rusted inside. I think that's the best way to preserve it unless its a new shelf item that has never been used before.

A parts guy at my local store advised me long time ago (when I was a teenager with my two-door CVCC Honda) that cars actually fare better being used rather than leave it in storage. Many years later I realised that is still true. Look at how many of these deteriorated at used car dealers.

I would rather use the protection that my Volvo provides no matter how "off" it looks. On the plus side most Volvos are big cars which give the impression "don't mess up with me" on the road. But that's me.
