1988 Honda Civic
----------------------------------------------------------------
I am trying to get an old honda civic running that has been sitting for almost 2 years. It almost is 3/4 full of gas. Is it ok to use that gas or is there something I should ad to it? Any suggestions?

Hi there,

It should be OK to use the fuel to get it going, but it will be stale and the performance may be well down, if you can it would be good to drain the tank change the filter and add some fuel system cleaner as well.
