bansheecaptain Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 I got two jerry cans full of racing fuel and premixed with amsoil interceptor oil. How long you think it will keep before it losses its octane level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HiRoller Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Not sure about race gas, but I get rid of 91 octane premix by dumping it in my truck a gallon or two per full tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banshee Chad Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 10 yrs. Gas doesn't go bad. I leave fuel in the snowblower all year, and it still works. Shit, thing sat in a shed for 8 yrs, changed plug, topped off gas and fired it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Methfireroad Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Fuel has a one month shelf life befor it starts to break down. The gas now a days sucks compared to 10 years ago. To many additives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbooker82 Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 I ran some 1.5 year old Sunoco 110 with Bel Ray H1R. Seem to run fine for the short time I rode it. I did end up dumping the fuel and cleaning the carbs before we went to the dunes last week. It was sealed up in a VP Fuel Can, and it did have about 5 oz of Sta Bil.

WINDYCITYJOHN400 Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 yea it will be sitting about 3-4 months . and i need to run high octane fuel becuase of set up . i think ill just donate it to the gf car If it's leaded race gas, you won't want to put that in your GF's car. It can clog the converter. But more importantly it can very quickly coat the O2 sensor and leave her with a car that runs like shit. (Maybe save it for an ex-GF. LOL) Race gas also doesn't like florescent lights. I've got a boatload of florescent lights in my shop and the UV from them will break down gas in clear and plastic containers. It took me a while to figure out why I was having issues with fuel going bad, but if you store your fuel in a sealed metal container...it will last till next season. Any jug where the fine mineral spirits can evaporate out will leave you with fuel with a lower potency. (fuel can outgas thru plastic jugs.) Topping off tanks in a snowmobile cuts down on the space available for the fuel to outgas and loose it's potent vapors. But after 6 months in a tank (especially with a vented cap)....the fuel won't be all jelled up and neither will your carbs. But the fuel will be down on potency. I drain all float bowls and tanks in the off season and store the fuel in spare metal 5 gallon VP cans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Methfireroad Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Steve o that was a good c16 fire. But the one in Solon was bigger. We might have to try to top both of those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
special06shee Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 I wouldn't think twice about running pump fuel that sat for a couple months! Done it before plenty of times and never had a problem! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
