    I have a small amount of gas in my old first GEN Tacoma that has been sitting for a year and a half that I need to get running, it is on E. Think I should just add new gas and octane booster or should I drop the tank and siphon out what’s left?

    That’s what I was thinking I was going to pull the plugs and fog the cylinders as well.

    Was the gas left in it ethanol free? If not, it may have absorbed some water.
