[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 4024259, member: 26737"] About 20 years ago, my dad got his dad’s ‘51 Ford pickup running after it had sat next to their garden since the ‘70s, if not the ‘60s. We expected to find severe nastiness in the gas tank, as it had been sitting there with drip gas for all those years, but that thing was shiny as a new penny inside, with not even a hint of corrosion. My ‘06 Lincoln sat in my garage for a couple of years when I first got retired, and the gasoline was so far gone that it was mostly water. I’d bet that if you dropped a match in it, it would go out—it rusted all the steel parts of the fuel pumps, so the first thing we had to do to get it back on the road was replace them. If it hadn’t been a plastic tank, it probably would’ve rusted out. And the funny part is that car never saw ethanol. That was Conoco 91 100% gasoline that went to hell… [/QUOTE]
