My Probe has been in storage for approx 6 monthes. Battery is ok, starter turns over rapidly, I suspect water has collected (Condensation) in the gas tank since the gas level was low during the storage. The question how do I go about draining the tank? Where are the fuel filters located? Will the alcohol based water absorption additives help?

the water absorbtion chemicals will help a bit, but not if theres lots of water in the gas.

to drain it you will ahve to take off the tank and dump it out. or wire the pump on to a switch and turn it on. and disconnect a fuel line and p ut it in a proper storage container.....
