Car stored for 5 years

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
