Side story.
I recently sold a 1996 Subaru that has sat in my yard for 3 years.
I know. Kick me, and I'm 50 miles from West-By-God.
Anyway, we pumped up the tires and needed to get it to the dolly.
The "proud" new owner wondered if it would start.
(I was laughing to myself, no F'n way!)
They had a battery (necessary to tow a Subaru) and stuck it in.
Damn thing fired right up. And I mean, right up.
He did cycle the key twice to fire the fuel pump, but it took right off.
Still wouldn't move. The rear brake pads were rusted to the rotors.
But if lit, ran rough for about a minute, then smoothed right out.
Ethanol gas that was 3 and almost a half years old.
