3yrs Garaged Boxster. How to prep it for driving?

[davemon]

Thanks for the heads-up Mike, much appreciated.

I think it has been run a few times at least, just not sure of how long or how many revs, so I don't know if the gas would have turned completely, so is there any harm in not draining the gas, but instead a top off and gas cleaner?

Almost sure you'd just suggest dropping the 2.7 for a 3.6 or 3.8 as a little pre-drive maintenance.

I've been on 2 wheels for so long, it'll be interesting to see how I can handle 4 contact points again.

With the way gas is now, I would definitely drain it. If it was 20 years ago I would say otherwise.

Allowing gas with ethanol in it to sit for a long time would be my worry. Ethanol blended gas can suffer from phase separation.

Just trying to reduce your chances of having an excuse for that option :-)
