I inherited a 2001 Hyundai that has been sitting in an upstate New York driveway since February 2002. The car has 3/4 of a tank of gas. Nothing was done to it before it was stored i.e. gas stablizers, etc. What needs to be done before the car is started & put into use?

Drain the gas and get rid of it. If you try to run the car with it you are just asking for a lot of headaches. also change the fuel filter while you are at it. Once you get it running change the oil as soon as possible. Good Luck Peter
Send it to the junk yard
