Many congrats. Enjoy it. Hope you have lots of trouble free driving. When I am without mine it feels like I have lost my right arm.

Car's gotta punish you for not driving it. It's the RS law.

Yes, thought about that.
Approx 4 years, about 1/4 filled. Last week added about 50 L.

Should have filled fueltank before not using...
Maybe inside fueltank contaminated...

Have driven about 60km without cel.

Will try check for codes tonight.
