Afternoon from the UK
I picked up a 95? 940 2.3 HPT auto estate a couple of weeks back for ?160 from flea bay. It?s been stood for over 5 years and hasn?t turned a wheel, other than being towed. Got down there to winch it onto my fiends trailer, 3 of the 4 tyres wee flat so we decided to throw a battery in it to see if we could get it started. Much to my surprise and the complete shock of the guy who I bought it from, it started and then drove.
Obviously this means it already has a character and I am officially in love!!
It needs a fair bit of tlc and through stage 0 tune to get it going as a daily but I?m all in with it now.
My question is, what is the safest way to drain the fuel tank?! It has half a tank of 5 year old petrol in it which I don?t really want to run through the engine.
My second question is, given it?s been standing for ages, what fuel would you top it up with? Standard 95 ron or a super unleaded 97/98 ron?! What are the advantages/disadvantages of both?
Cheers
