Time to revive the 1984 240 DL Sedan. Ran when parked, 5 years ago. Before that, I ran it occasionally for 5 years. I figured the gas would be bad --- so I drained it all out, about 3 gallons. Brown, bad, and very dark brown. So, what's next? Is there anything else I should be aware of before putting new gas in and trying to fire it up? I did crank the engine for 20 seconds before draining the gas, to see if systems worked and if it would crank. Keeping fingers crossed this isn't going to be endless troubleshooting.
