Now there are other non-gasoline matters to take care of like change the oil after your first run to the store, inspect for rodent damage, maybe get your brake system inspected for disk brake rust damage, flush the braking system, etc. etc. Such matters are dependent on whether the rig was stored in a garage or outdoors.
