So, I want to get my Celica started soon. The gas has been sitting in the tank for a little over a year though. Is there a how-to on draining the gas tank so I can fill it up with new gas? Thanks.

before i bought my car, it was sitting outside for about a year. it started up and ran fine on a fully charged battery. so it really depends on how it was stored. the gas tank is a fully sealed enclosure assuming the gas cap was never opened during storage to let air in and oxidize with the fuel.
