This can happen in 60 days...."years" no longer hold truw with todays fuel.....<br />If it will set more than 30 days, stabilizer is a must.
Bulls**t. Fuel CANNOT go bad to the point that it will cause carburetor trouble in 60 days. That is simply impossible. Under the worst circumstances it can go somewhat stale, and may not run as good as fresh gas, but it's far from gumming anything up. My old jeep sat for 3 years with 1/4 tank of gas out in the weather. Started right up and passed an emissions test on that fuel with flying colors. I just started up my chain saw for the first time since probably september. Fired right up, no problem. No winterizing what so ever. I could go on, and on, and on.......<br /><br />If you have gas that has gone bad in a few months, you got bad gas, or your tank is contaminated with something.
ZmOz, I don't, and won't, hammer you about something you post if I feel it's not quite right, but I will tell you this....Fuel degrades enough in 60 days to cause detonation, carbon build-up and yes, excess varnish...ask Dhadley the same question and see what he says...he won't use fuel over 30 days old.<br />What do you think "somewhat stale" does to the engine while running??? Do you "add fresh fuel on top of what is in the tank and make the fresh fuel bad too?"--Quote from Dhadley.<br />If it's "somewhat stale" it is "somewhat no good".<br />Todays fuel is nothing like it was even 5 years ago...maybe only half as good at best as far as how long it will last in storage.<br />Again, I have no intensions of insulting your knowledge, and I would expect the same from you.<br />Your experience and opinion is one thing, telling me I'm full of Bullsh*t is another.
