Coupe's been sitting for 5 years
Posted by: stillinanaudi (7932) on 2010-02-08 16:49:21	Share \| Report

Should I drain the gas tank before trying to start it? I dont want to have to deal with gum and varnish byproducts gunking up my new project. I have only heard of these potential issues and had no personal experience with old gas.

finally joined the modern "world" after getting tired of my own echo

- May as well change the fuel, oil and brake fluid. - Mcstiff 2010-02-08 16:56:06 (23 views)

    - You "could" make an adaptor to the fuel rail to pump it out. Siphon would be "safer". cp - Mcstiff 2010-02-08 17:48:06 (18 views)
      - I do now plan to siphon out the old gas.. any tips?  -  stillinanaudi  2010-02-08 21:54:54 (26 views)

        Good advice  -  stillinanaudi  2010-02-09 03:30:52 (26 views)
        
        Lol, orally stimulate. Thats even better than my post.   -  Pearl100CSQ  2010-02-09 08:31:53 (12 views)
        
        ha, oral stimulation is always good.   -  CvTech  2010-02-09 13:31:24 (7 views)
        
        Use that and one of those drill powered pumps. I do not recommend using your mouth to get it going.   -  Pearl100CSQ  2010-02-08 23:08:22 (16 views)
        
        thx too for the no-mouth recommendation   -  stillinanaudi  2010-02-09 03:32:45 (8 views)
        
        Thats what she said  -  Mcstiff  2010-02-09 00:04:07 (15 views)
        
        lol. I was trying to get it all on a NT post. I'll have to work on the phrasing next time:)   -  Pearl100CSQ  2010-02-09 00:49:46 (11 views)
    - It's probably stale but would still work - egp320i 2010-02-08 17:34:09 (32 views)
      - Still a bit scared of possible 'varnish &/or gum'  -  stillinanaudi  2010-02-08 22:00:21 (21 views)
        
        that is true  -  egp320i  2010-02-09 02:17:19 (12 views)
        
        Perhaps a hand-pump siphon starter...  -  stillinanaudi  2010-02-09 03:04:00 (12 views)
