I don't think that pickling and fogging are the same thing. Typical
winterization around here involves fogging the engine. I beleive that
pickling means filling the engine with oil to preserve it for long term
storage.

In auto engine terms, the expression was once used to describe the long
term
storage preparation process of pouring oil into the carburator with the
engine running ... I'm thinking the catalytic converter likely ended that
practice. So could be another term for fogged ???

Sory to display my ignorace, but.....I've been looking on some auction
sights
and I see especially large boats that have gone through storm damage. The
write
ups say the engin[s] haev been "pickled" then it may say engines

Can anyone shed some knowledge about "pickled" engines for me?
Thanks!
