Anything with Ethanol

E10 E85 E anything

So if you want to store some, use it within 60-90 days...

If your car has been sitting all winter, drain the tank....

Gas with no Ethanol, can be stored a long long time...

If you have a gas can sitting around since fall, with E10 for the lawn mower,
dump it, don't use it...

 

info, links, proves? not trying to bash you, but could you post more infos on why?

 

if you use this you'll be fine Deprecated Browser Error

 

Google, dammit.

Gasoline Expiration - Ethanol Blend Fuels Have a Short Shelf Life

 

Use Sta-Bil for storage.

 

Sta-Bil states that it will help, but only on less than E10...

 

your kind of a doucher, lol i mean in almost every single thread that you have posted in, its nothing but rude remarks towards people, and yes i know i just made one to you, but one isnt as bad as almost every post....i mean calm down up there, are you having rough times up there right now or what? lol

 

Considering almost all gas is now E10, I've never had an issue with storing gas longer than 90 days.

Hell I have a can of 91 premix in my garage for my pocket bike that I've had for about 2 years now.

Bike still runs like a champ on that gas, mind you its a little 2-stroke and not a 4-stroke car motor.

I've had gas longer than that in a car before tho without any issues.

A quick google search only returns that ONE website saying its a 3 month shelf life.......I'm not sure how much I believe that.

 

Oh look!! Have no fear of water contamination!!

He sells a kit to test for the presence of water and alcohol! LOL!

And further reading says that the shelf life is 3 months from when they add the alcohol to the gasoline....

so basically odds are once you buy the gas its already no good according to this man.

Needless to say I'm not convinced.

 

I have personally destroyed one generator and hurt another by leaving E sit. E10 mind you.

 

It's called phase shifting. I work for an oil company, we test our tanks daily for water contamination and phase shifting. For us, we're constantly adding new fuel to our tanks as we sell it, and the mixing keeps it from shifting. But in a car, it could shift and separate

 

so shake the car b4 starting.

 

Omnigear with the save

 

i dont think gas is a colloid lol

 

*like*

 

i should prolly go outside and shake my ss then lol its been sitting all winter haha

 

This stuff really does work.....



I use it in all my small short stroke engines ....

 

Remember one little tidbit here - your 'balts fuel system is NOT open to the atmosphere. Phase separation in ethanol/fuel mixtures occur primarily in storage tanks, gas cans, and small engines where the fuel is exposed to humidity far more.

Whether enough moisture can diffuse into your fuel system during storage is open to debate - I'm sure it does, but with the newer composition fuel lines and such, I'm betting that this diffusion is pretty darn slow.

This is definitely an issue on my older Camaros with their crappy vented fuel systems - E10 can very easily rust my tanks, chew up my old standard-issue rubber lines, and wreck the diaphragm in my carb'ed Z28's fuel pump. But a couple months' winter storage on a 'balt, especially with some stabilizer in it? I have my doubts.

As far as E85 goes, not only is the system closed, but the fuel is primarily ethanol anyway - you're going to have essentially 190 proof hooch at the bottom if it did separate, which should still be pretty friggin' combustible! And the shakes your car will have should soon mix that fuel up anyway.....

 

I just pulled my car out of winter storage after 5 months. Just threw some stabilizer in the tank. It was fine, started with no problems. Ran like a champ.

 

I bet that was a good feeling ..

IT LIVES!!!!!

 

My neighbors are all staring at me funny and my wife asked me not to hump the car in daylight... Any other options?

 

yep, he's a stick in the mud. Never anything good to say

You can say that again! - oh, apparently you did!
