Fuel tank flush?

Just got back from deployment and I'm wondering if I should have my fuel tank flushed because it's a tuned 2012 LS3 with LT headers. I did add fuel preserving fluid but I'm wondering since it's 93 octane tuned if I should be worried.


Oh yeah it's sat in storage for 7 months throughout winter!

I'd try to get it started and take it for a good drive to get some fresh gas in the tank!

I live in Massachusetts, where my Camaro SS hibernates for 7 months each winter. I just put Sta-Bil in the tank before storage.

Four winters, no problems.
