MK2 XR2

Cars been parked up for about 14 months with half a tank in and it starts and runs well but seems slightly off sometimes just a bit. Mixture spot-on and cars had a full service

Will a fresh tank help any? its got no tax ATM tho...

Heres my new baby...

 

My Rs 1800 had petrol left in it for 10 months. Started it up, ran a bit rough but filled it up with optimax and is running fine !!

Smudge

 

Hmmm, will have to get some tmrw then. Cans it is lol or could fill the wheelie bin up..........

 

i know the octane rating goes 'off' when in the taks for too long.

 

yeah petrol does go bad


for some reason though my cossie aint got ANY fuel in the tank yet there was 1/4 when i parked it up last year


but thats not gonna help you out

 

Petrol evaporates - sometimes quicker on cars that don't have quite as air-tight seals and hose clips....
