A friend of mine has a 1978 Monte Carlo, that he has had in storage since 1978. He was wondering, how to get full tank of gas out of the car?
The car has only 13.6 miles on it..... This is NOT a misprint!!!! This car is NOT for sale, don't even think of it. ;D. Is there possibly any damage to the tank or anything else fuel related, Fuel has had Sta-Bil ( 1 quart ) put in 30 years ago. Car has been professionally prepped for storage, and has nevr been started to date. ......Thanks in advance..Larry

He is a good friend, who speaks well of me behind my back.

Use one of the cheap hands ball pump with a plastic line ( hose) some time in a dollar store or pet boy or wall mart or any car place. just try to keep the bucket as low as you can. At first a few pump to get it started then it will work by it self. Make sure you got a few buckets
this like the old way like when you where a kid tried stealing gas with a hose your mouth. But this keep the gas out of your gut. Oh it the gas is that old and will not burn well it will make good Turpin now.
