OK, here's the plan for the XJ-S V-12:  First, add some fuel stabilizer to 
the tank and drive the car for a while to get it throughout the fuel system.  
When ready to park it, take both air cleaner covers off and disable the 
ignition and EFI -- I *think* you can disable BOTH in one move by 
disconnecting the white/slate/blue wire to the ignition amp right on top of 
the engine, someone confirm that please.  Have one person stand on either 
side of the car with a spray can of engine fogger in hand while a third 
person holds the throttle open and turns the starter.  A good blast for a few 
seconds in both sides at the same time.  Turn off the starter and foggers 
at the same time, so you don't run any fresh air through behind the fog.

Quick and easy, to be sure.  Opinions, everyone?
