flush gas tank?

tim123 · 01-19-2008, 02:59 PM

I have a 86gt that has been asleep for 4-5 years. It was properly put away with a full gas tank and stabilizer. Its time to wake it up this spring. However I'm concerned with evaporated gas/varnish in the tank plugging the filter, wipe the pump or worse. Should the tank be dropped, washed and wiped out or change the filter once a week and press on?? Thanks in advance.

A mechanic buddy said to just fill the tank and change filters frequently for a while.
