Mike,
I am sure that many D owners would tell you to drain the gas. I
have never drained the gas except the one time I went in and replaced
the fuel pump. I always add fuel injector cleaner, fill the tank with
new gas and away I go. I have 46,000 + miles on the car and it sits
all winter long. The fuel injectors are original and I have never had
a problem, knock on wood! The one thing that you may want to consider
is to change the fuel filter after you run the old gas out so that if
anything does go through the system and gets caught in the filter you
get it out before it goes any farther. See what other owners say and
then do what you feel is right.
Happy Holidays,
Gary Masie
