Hey guys,
Sorry If I’m a little vague on some things here I will provide as much info as I can that are necessary to not make this too long. I have a 93 gt and it has most bolt ons available I don’t think the details matter too much right now. I am mostly looking for advice on the best course of action to get the car running.
Please note this car is in storage and I do not have easy access to work on the car regularly, it has to be a very focused trip with limited time to work on it.
-The car has been sitting for about 4 years, with about a qtr tank of gas in it.
-the car does not start and I’m 95% sure it’s fuel delivery related
-my goal is to just get it running
Here are my questions:
-Should I get the gas out? Considering the price of a new fuel tank is only $100, would it be worth it to just stick a new tank in there with fresh gas?
-or can I get by with just siphoning the gas out and put new gas in it, should I clean the tank? Gas disposal is not easy for me.
-Should I just change the fuel pump if I have the tank down?

I would drop the tank, you can then inspect it and decide if it needs replacement, new fuel pump and filter. Blow out the fuel lines. That should keep you busy for a minute.
Before I dropped the tank I would just try to get as much of the old gas out as I could and put some fresh in. Put in a conditioner as well like Sea Foam.
My car sat for 7 years before I got it. I did not drop the tank to get it running again. Is the fuel pump priming? The biggest lesson I learned from getting mine going is that you can waste a lot of time and money just coming at this issue with out a good plan. This is a link to an extremely helpful trouble shooting guide. I would strongly encourage you to go through it step by step regardless of what you "think" the issue is. A lot of the time it turns out to be something out in left field that is the actual issue. Good Luck!
