My car was sitting in my driveway all winter... I just charged the battery... Should I do anything before trying to start it? So I dont cause any damage?

• How would I remove the gas from the tank? Suck on a hose?

• It sounds like a lot, but it really isn't. If you don't feel capable,in many areas there are mobile mechanics who will come to you (I am one of these)(it'll probably cost a few hundred $). The preferred way to 'empty' the tank is thru a 'hand pump syphon' (readily available at auto supply stores). (also ck. all tire pressures & conds.).

• What does bump the starter a few times mean? How would I do that?

• Just turn the key in the ignition without giving the car any gas. Do that a couple of times to get oil up into the engine, then start the car as you normally would.
