My Tiger has been started occasionally and let run in the garage but has not driven on the street for about six years. The bad news is that is also the approximate age of the three or so gallons of gas that are in the car.
In anticipation of driving the car again, I want to get rid of as much of the stale gas and its after effects as possible without pulling and cleaning the tanks. The car starts just fine but the gas is not a clear color like it should be. To me, that's an indication of varnish.
I plan to pump the gas into containers by running the fuel pump. That gas goes to hazardous waste mgt. I will replace my two in-line fuel filers. I have just finished a rebuild of my Holley.
Is there anything else I should do before I add a few gallons of fresh gas and start up the engine?
(I have also learned the value of keeping the tank full, using a fuel stabilizer. and never letting a car go non-op.)
Thank you for any advice--Jim
