RassCar Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 My 99 Cobra has had some amount of fuel in it since I bought it. I have no real idea of how old the fuel is, maybe 2-3 years. It does smell more like varnish than gasoline. My plan to remove it is pretty minimal, but I think I might get by with it. Once I have the engine in the car, with all grounds hooked up and a good battery, I just plan to leave fuel lines disconnected and turn the key on to pump out all of whatever is left in the tank. Then, change the fuel filter, fill the tank with fuel system cleaner and good gas, and start the car after reconnecting the fuel lines. Thoughts, advice, opinions?

Prokiller Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 sounds like a good plan to me. i'd run a bit of the new fuel and cleaner through the line before hooking it up again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thought, don't know why that didn't occur to me when I made the post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackmage Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 would it be beneficial to drop the tank and check the pump assemblies and stuff for any type of build up on the pickup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would, but I want to avoid that if I can. Partly because I think it'll probably be fine, and partly because I just don't wanna. If I'd quit dragging ass I'd already be at this point. I need to just get to it. The engine is ready to rock, it's just chilling on the stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
