03 F150 Sitting a While - Octane Booster

4.6L, been sitting 2.5 years, will octane booster be enough, or do I have to drain the tank? I think there's a vent on top of tank that is somewhat easy.

Octane booster won't do anything for you. Good chance it will start and run, if you put anything in the gas use Iso-Heet and Techron. Be prepared to change the fuel filter.

octane booster after sitting??? I’m curious as to why



I’d drain the fuel tank anyway, change the fuel filter and flush the lines / clean the injectors
