put in the loweest octane fuel you can run on plus additive stabilizer.

Clean it out once a month, make sure it's clean before, put it on jacks if possible, etc

And when you start it up, make sure you let it run to full temp.

Or have a friend drive it around once in awhile since it sounds like you lost your license for 6 months.
