Just go to your auto parts store and buy water remover (gas treatment) and a can of octane booster. I wouldnt beat on the car too bad until you get good gas back in her.

Yah, it shouldn't be too bad after five months... You could probably run it and just burn out all that old gas.

I would definately get some water remover though. Condensation of 5 months shouldnt be a problem but better safe than sorry. But if there is water in the tank it can play hell causing missing and studdering

Any gas line antifreeze better known as denatured alcohol will burn up any water or condensation. 5 months is really nothing to worry about
