    That's what I did. I didn't take any gas out. After my girl sat for that long, I drove the heck out of it and that tank of gas didn't last long anyway. Even if dude drove it down to a half, then it could be filled up and deffinately should be good to go. Really wouldn't pass up on the treatment though.

    Just curious, did you guys put your cars up on jack stands or just let it sit as-is for that long? If it sat on the ground, how are your tires?

    (I'm going to have to store mine for 4 months sometime in the next year and am trying to figure out if I'm going to put it up in the air or not.)

    Unfortunatly for me, I didn't have time to put it on stands. Would have liked to. The Military gave me a week to get stuff together and go overseas. But as for my tires, I've been running them for over a year now and no problems. They don't seem to have the stickiness on take off that they used to, but other than that no dry rotting or anything. Which to me is suprising because she sat outside in the elements the whole time and being low pros. Yeh, but for four months, I really don't see where you should have any issues. But mine where still practically brand new when she was sat down. What's your tires like?

    were you the one with the tire dry-rotting issue?
