bad gas question

hey, i finally got my car up and running, YAY me! anyways, theres over half a tank of gas thats been sitting in my 7 for atleast a year an half. i added that berryman b12 chem stuff, and im about to top off the tank with premium, but i was wondering if i should even bother, if i should drain that gas (its a lot of gas) or if it will be ok?? any help would be appreciated thanx

Drain the gas, change the fuel filter, and either have injectors cleaned or run some injector cleaner thru it. Or if bucks allow, consider having the entire fuel system cleaned. It runs about $125.00. Do not run stale (and at 1 1/2 years its vintage by now) through that engine.

Just drain it and be safe. New fuel filter like Joboo, "never liked the curve ball" said.

I would have drained it personally, but hey, to each his own.

Chaning fuel filters is fun! My entire arm smelled like gas for the rest of the day when I changed mine on my cutlass!!
