put stabil in the gas

I was thinking of siphoning it out and putting in some new gas? Is that a good thought

how much gas is in the tank?

[CBCUSTOMS]

Like a quarter tank. Not much. But, Im just afraid of starting it up without changing fluids cause the motor is build with expensive parts and i dont want to buy them again

if it were my car, i would just put some fuel additive it in, (octain booster/water treatement) and top it off with fuel and start it up.

6 months isn't long enough for the fuel to go bad.

[CBCUSTOMS]

Fuel is the least of my problems. Im worried about the oil sitting that long and all the other fluids sitting that long

[kingdutka]

You'll be fine. 6 months isn't very long for most of those fluids. Fuel would be the only thing I'd worry about.

[CBCUSTOMS]

Really? Cause you have no idea how badly i want to hop in the car and drive man....Its killing me

[FSUDrifter]

change the oil of course

[CBCUSTOMS]

Oh yeah oil will be changed lol thanks for all the suggestions guys

A lot of long term storage tips are from the days they still used carburetors. The only thing I would make sure to do is turn the engine over a couple times without the coils plugged in so you can prime the engine with oil. Other than that you could probably just start it up without doing any extra prep work. Stale fuel wont hurt your motor.

Thanks for all the help/tips

you got the car back intact after being stolen!!! wow, that's a pretty good ending to a bad situation.

i would personally drain, remove, clean the gas tank. who knows if they put anything in there. not that bad of a job either. and clean/replace the lines.

i'd drain the oil, then refil with the valve cover off to make sure all the cam lobes are lubricated. 6mos isn't long but you wanna look in there anyways and it's easy.

and yeah, crank it over with the CAS unplugged to build pressure. might be a good idea to pull the exhaust and blow it out, make sure no mice got in there for nesting hehehehe same for engine bay and under dash (wiring short fires ftl)

your PS and brake fluid should be good. might wanna change the MT fluid, don't know if the hozers that stole it could drive.... >_>

but at a minimum, fuel treatment and some HEAT (water remover), fuel filter, and oil/filter.
