Car storage
I've been storing my car since november and I just realized I have no gas in the car. The reason I just noticed is because I can't take the car for a drive cause it's blocked in and is not registered. Therfore I can't take it for a long enough drive to get it up to operating temp.
My dad had told me he tried to start it a month after storing it to move it but it would'nt start. So I think it got flooded and it now has no gas.
Anyways my question is, are my fuel lines going to be fucked. Like are the going to be rusted inside from the possibility of moisture/condensation? And is the engine going to be messed up cause it was flooded and left for so long without de-flodding it? As well the city I live in gets alot of snow and they use salt on the roads, i had to drive it for a week or so with snow on the ground so some salt is on the body and under the car(frame etc...) should I wash this off with a pressure washer or leave it till warm weather and no more snow and give it a real good wash?

um you might want to get gas in it if it doesnt already have before you try anything else. anything is possible. but a little bit of water condensation shouldnt keep it from start i wouldnt think. rotaries can run with water in em...forget what the name of it is. but if all else fails check to see your getting spark and fuel. check the search there are some write ups. in addition, check your fuel filter and make sure your pump is getting juice. also found in search.

I already know why its not starting and thats cause it was flooded and now there is no gas. i have since added gas.
You didn't really answer any of my questions.
Does anyone else have an opinion or answers for me?
