Mine lasted about 6 months without stabilizer... but i also added 5 gallons of fresh gas, then went to a gas station and filled it up full. So, i would recomend filling it up with new gas, driving some, filling it up again, driving, filling, driving, etc.

Just curious as to why you didn't add stabil back when you first decided that the car was gonna sit for so long? Gas should be good for at least 12 months if you add the correct amount of stabil.

A big part of it was that I get deployed for 8mo with 2days notice.
Secondly the company I ordered all of my stuff from was SUPPOSED to have everything to me by the 2nd week of MAY 2006 and I didnt get it all and they are no longer in business. So I have to wait to get some of the money back from the CC company and that MIGHT not be till early OCT. The only thing I added was the STP gas treament after I got back. I got a new Racetronix fuel pump to go in the tank but I was gonna do it with a access panel through the top. But I didnt want to have to throw away 14 gal of 93 fuel if I didnt have to. esp with it now being $3.50apx here in Hawaii a gal.
My brother lives in Lake in the Hills.. cool.. cubs fan here...LOL
Thank you all..
