I should note when I vacuumed the tank I, do not recommend this even after I removed as much fuel as I could with a fluid pump, poured water and dry everything as much as could. There is still the possibility of fuel vapors going into a vacuum and either creating a fire, a boom or a flame thrower!

To my knowledge all of the sugar is out of the tank and cleaned both sides, removed filler neck as the entire thing was full as well. I did several warm water flushes and went filled and gas can with 93.
Added 3 gallons to the tank and primed and the car started.

Now it wasn’t happy when it was running but this could be from bad fuel in the lines, car sitting for a year or so, but by the grace of god and a lot of sweat hours it runs!

Now on to draining and filling the oil that’s sat for so long and who knows how long it was before it was changed prior. Oil and filter looked good-dirty but good.

I had to take it for a little shake down drive after changing the fluids. This was a little crazy with no windows and broken glass everywhere but hey it ran and shifted great.
