When I got it the tank was almost empty, and I don't think it had been run very much except at the dealer's lot to do test drives.

The bladder in your fuel cell does indeed crack with age -- and that's why they usually get stamped with a five year expiration date. Letting them sit dry doesn't help them much either. You should also be aware that the inspection of a bladder is a potentially explosive job, so you should not treat it lightly.

Alfredo,

Thanks! I'm looking forward to talking. I'm at the airport in Ft. Collins, CO right now and their goofy wireless won't let me see the video. I'll check it when I get to Vegas tonight!

I watched the video tonight. That is very nice. From classic Mustangs to Lamborghinis. That must be some awesome event! I think I saw at least three Ford GTs too.
