Default Re: Coming out of storage

Anytime you store gasoline for an extended period you risk varnish and other gunk in the fuel system. Use Sta-Bil next fall and fill the tank fully to eliminate room for condensation. Also change the oil before storage, fully inflate the tires, and park it on carpet remnants if you have a concrete garage floor.

For now, drive it with your fingers crossed. Fill it up a few times as soon as it hits 1/2 tank to flush out the old gas. And I'd suggest a bottle of fuel injector cleaner every other tank for a while to make sure all the varnish gets cleaned out.
