The fuel is low. I plan to just fill up with fresh stuff before starting the car. Fuel filter, oil filter, oil and break fluid all new before car went into storage.

floating, not so sure.

causing problems, possibly.

fuel level related, not so sure.


Get a glass or plastic container with a flat bottom, add dome random crap, anything that might resemble crap on the bottom of a tank, add water to resemble a fullish tank and move the container around to create a disturbance (crap on the bottom will not be very effected), then pour out most of the water and repeat (crap on the bottom is much more effected by lower level of fluid)
Hi Im Ben, Have a nice day :)

then chuck a fuel pump with the mesh bag over the pick up in the glass and see how much stuff gets sucked up.
