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.

Ok, I'll take my chances then. The cap was never opened. -------------------- "God created turbo lag to give V8's a chance"
