Hi
What mask would you recommend using with what filters when flushing out the old fuel out of the car sitting for 2 years?

Have you sampled the fuel?

It may not need to be discarded.

If it is half full and you fill it and dilute it you should be OK.

Sitting in shelter or in sunlight?

It's been sittin' in the open.
It's about quarter tank there. The gauge isn't working.
The car isn't cranking. Still feel like I need to access fuel tank to 'wake up' the pre-pump with passing fuel cleaner directly through. Prepump isn't pushing enough fuel to high-pressure pump.
