Disconnect hose from fuel pump, place hose into container and turn on the ignition - that will turn the fuel pump on and get the gas out.

I woud have suggested that you siphon it but most newer cars do not allow you to stick a hose down the tan refill pipe to do so.

Testimonial: "Thank You so much Richie46 for your answer, I just wasn't sure if 9 months is too long or not to drive the car with the gas in it, or is there something I can add to the gas tank to make it ok."

    Try starting the car - if it runs then do not sweat it. My understanding has always been that you put in the additive before the period of inactivity not after the fact. I would just use it and replace the gas with fresh gas as soon as you can.

It is a highly complex vehicle, you need an auto electrician with a pro grade scan tool computer to diagnose what electrics aren't working

Temperature gauge varies.

I would have the cooling fans checked. When the car is moving there is air forced through the radiator naturally. But when stopped, the car relies on the fans to pull air through the radiator to pull heat out of the coolant.
