My plan is to drain the fuel, inspect the tank for any residue or debris, fill it with fresh ethanol-free fuel & Techron, change the fuel filter, and see how it's running before changing the oil again.

I know the smart thing while I'm there is just to replace the fuel level sender and fuel pump given that both are 25 years old at this point.

I moved late last year and had no choice but to start the car a few times to move it, but I did manage to change the oil before that.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

1 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

  • Pelican Parts: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I'm in the process of bringing my 996 race car back to life after essentially being in storage in its enclosed trailer for the last 5 years. I did a race in March 2020 on the weekend the pandemic lockdowns were declared, the car got parked with the fuel that was in it, then life got in the way and there it essentially sat until now. I moved late last year and had no choice but to start the car a few times to move it, but I did manage to change the oil before that. I'm now in the process of bringing the car fully back to track ready. My plan is to drain the fuel, inspect the tank for any residue or debris, fill it with fresh ethanol-free fuel & Techron, change the fuel filter, and see how it's running before changing the oil again. I started to remove the fuel level sender and pump assembly and promptly snapped the nipple off what I'm assuming is the tank vapor vent port. I removed the charcoal/EVAP a long time ago, so I'm assuming that's not going to be a problem. I know it's not ideal having it vent directly under the battery. I know the smart thing while I'm there is just to replace the fuel level sender and fuel pump given that both are 25 years old at this point. Any other suggestions? Removing the fuel rails and injectors before/after for cleaning or overkill?
