OK, minds outta the gutter !
We're talking gasoline in the 914 tank - How long can a 1/4 -1/2 tank of gas sit in the tank, while the car is in storage, or under restoration (whatever) before it turns bad & begins to look like old varnish? I know I can drain the gas out, into 5 gallon containers, but I wanted to avoid that if possible. I figured about 4-5 months before it begins to go bad, but not sure. How about using a gas-additive, or octane boost? Any gas experts here? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) Thanks!

I store my 914 from Nov. to March every yr. I fill the tank add the correct amount of Staybil. In march engine starts right up, I run out 1/2 of the tank then top it off . It runs poorly untill i mix 1/2 a tank of fresh gas. I do it that way to prevent rust in the tank over the winter. My 2 cents Dave (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/slap.gif) |
