Open up the gas tank and stick your hand in all the way and feel for a little knob. Open it up and then run a copper wire through the knob. Take out the copper wire and soak in bleach ( Great battery sustainer) and then pull all the way through the hole then close. If your engine doesnt have the knob you can drill a small hole in the corner and pour the bleach in there. The bleach acts as a contreceptive to the corrosive chemicals, thus helping your battery life. Hope this helps.

The battery is not holding charge on a 1992 ford E-350?
It may be a bad battery -- take the battery into an auto shop like Autozone or Advance and have them check it. Otherwise, you may have a draw in your electrical system; something that's supposed to be turning off when the van is off isn't, so it's drawing power. You can check the voltage (using a battery charger or voltmeter), disconnect the battery at the terminals, leave it overnight, and see if it has the same charge in the morning. If it loses charge when it's connected but doesn't when it's not, this suggests you have a draw in the electrical system. These (like all electrical problems) are expensive to fix if you have a voltmeter you can test the draw on your battery by disconnecting fuses one at a time. If you unplug one and the voltage being drawn drops, you've found your draw. If it's something nonessential, you can choose to leave it unplugged rather than paying to have it repaired.
