Car in Storage for 5 years
 

I inherited a 2001 Hyundai that has been sitting in a driveway in upstate New
York since February 2002 & hasn't been started since then. It has about 3/4
of a tank of gas. What do I need to do before starting & using this car?
Thanks in advance for any info you can give me.

Condensation would have collected in the gastank. I'd say have the ca
hauled to a repair station to have it gone over before attempting t
start it, but then maybe you could drain the tank and add new gas, o
at least add a product that combines with the condensated water, clea
the spark-plugs, change the oil, charge the battery cross your finger
and crank the engine without stepping o
the accelerator. (& crank and crank etc.
