No sweat Brad!

The tank has a drain plugwhere you can drain it.
Then pore the fuel per 3 gallons on each full tank filling of another car.
(max 15% old stuff)
I did so with the fuel of my '71 BGT which last had been refilled in 1990.
So my wife's Mitsibushi Galant got some gallons of old stuff and she never
complained of bad performance.

Beware of course if the fuel is leaded though. This will damage the catalic
converter.

Good luck.
