I am just about finished doing a five lug conversion, with roll bar, with custom door handles, blah, blah blah. As a result, the car has been off the road for about a year. I drained the gas tank and have replaced with fresh gas. But I was wondering how long some of you have left gas in the tank of a fuel injected car and not had any problems when you restarted the car. Just wondering if I was too hasty.
