I bought a gasoline powered motor home that had been sitting for about 5 years unused.

I tried to fill the tank with fresh gas and hope it would offset the bad gas.

Although I did drive it some, it was hard to start and ran poorly. Eventually I just had to replace the ~~diesel~~ fuel pumps and get the injectors cleaned. Lot of work. In the end I wished I had just drained the tank and put fresh gas in before anything else.

Thanks for the info... I don't think I can drain the tank myself, so... is that the sort of thing they can do on site, or would it need to be towed somewhere?

Depends on the site and the people you've hired to do it. Also I'm forgetting what vehicle we were talking about here, but I didn't need to jack up the motorhome to work under it and remove the tanks. That could be an issue with a lower vehicle.
