My 1.7 was in a garage for over 26 years. The car would start and run on ether. When I pulled the tank and drained it you would not believe the sludge that was in the bottom. Really nothing would get through that tank screen, and even if it was changed, the sludge would just clog it up again.
I would pull the tank and get it cleaned and sealed. Good thing to do after 40years, and not that hard a job.
Okay good to know thank you so much!
