If This car has been sitting for 8-10 years, with gas in it, The gas is probably thick as moleasses. Not to mention water and rust.I bought a 86 supra that had only been sitting for 1 year and the fuel pump and tank were complrtely rusted out. Not hard to pull the tank; pull out filler neck and fuel pump and visually check them out. Good luck
