30 days sitting

back on jan.28 my truck was parked in the way of a falling oak tree
https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/7...light=oak+tree
now it has been at the body shop ever since they tell me that they expect it to be done early next week. it has been sitting inside a temp. controlled building and hasn't been started in approximately 30 days. is there anything i should do before starting and driving home. should i worry about sediments in the tank clogging the fuel filter? or anything else. thanks in advance for any info.

No, you have nothing to be concerned about. They may have to top off the batteries, but you'll be fine otherwise.

There is a pretty good chance that your turbo will be "stuck".
