stored gas
How long can gas sit in the tank before it starts to go bad?

Re: stored gas
I knew a guy who had a car in storage for three years, then started it. It ran like ***.
Nowadays, you can throw fuel stabalizer in there.

Re: stored gas
I have heard it can be 3 months and gas starts to turn bad. I use Stabil in the winter time on my crotch rocket when I know its too cold to ride. One bottle will treat 20 gallons, its about 6 bucks.

Re: stored gas
As long as you put Stabil in it, you should be able to go 7-8 months without a problem, maybe as long as a year. This has worked fine for me winterizing cars and boats.

Re: stored gas
Where can you obtain leaded gas? I thought it was banned years ago.

Re: stored gas
gasoline is made up of many different hydrocarbons. Some of the lighter more volitile components start to evaporate quickly while the heavier compounds stay behind. If anyone has seen a gummed up carb then they know what is left behind...
As long as you keep gas in a sealed container away from direct sunlight it should last a long time. If it has a chance to vent it will break down and go "bad" It will also absorb some water. The fuel stabilizers do extend the life greatly. Your best bet is to use some or just run it every once and a while to keep it fresh.

 The bottle treats 15 gallons of unleaded fuel. That's the only way I know how to obtain lead for my fuel.

Re: stored gas
STABIL IS GOOD BUT I WOULD STARTRON-ITHEY MAKE TWO KINDS-GAS AND DIESEL.I HAVE USED IT FOR MY BOAT FOR YEARS AND IT IS VERY POPULAR SINCE THE ETHANOL WAS INTRODUCED.IT DOES MORE THAN STABILIZE YOUR FUEL.ANY BOATING STORE CARRIES IT.http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=STA...F-8&fr=hp-pvdt
