I am just about finished doing a five lug conversion, with roll bar, with custom door handles, blah, blah blah. As a result, the car has been off the road for about a year. I drained the gas tank and have replaced with fresh gas. But I was wondering how long some of you have left gas in the tank of a fuel injected car and not had any problems when you restarted the car. Just wondering if I was too hasty.

I prefer to have E15 that is less than 12 months old.
If the tank is already nasty inside less than 6 months.
Modern plastic tank cars can last 1 year in optimal conditions. (inside a garage).

Nobody close to me will take bad gas.

When I have a customer car with bad gas I slowly feed it to my 300k 97 Chevy 3/4 ton van.

5 gallons bad with 15 gallons fresh doesn't seem to affect it at all.

I'm NOT a greenie but I DON"T dump that crap into the ground.

I feed it to the "Zepplin" slowly...

Non-ethanol gas will last a decade.

I have a customer that feeds his stable of old school hot rods 100 octane low-lead (av gas) and his fuel is OVER 6 years old.

Works fine!
