How long can the petrol be in the tank whitout getting bad?
My car have being still for 1,5 years now and Im planning to start the car up this summer.
The car have been i the garage all the time.

I have changed to Megasquirt and done some other modifications on the engine thats why I havent been driving it.

No way, I'd definately dispose of that. I'm certain it will cause starting issues.

 

Thanks for the answere Christian. If you say so Ill get rid of it.
Can I ask you another question please? Its my spec of the engine. Im not a dreamer of HP but what do you think my power could be with this:

Stage 1 head.
Kent cam CVH 34 (will have a custome made when the engine runs fine)
Double capacity Pace intercooler.
Megasuirt.
Stage 3 turbo, will boost it around 16psi.
Will take the inlet air from the front of the car, not from the engine bay.
It will run Fords EDIS-4 ignition.

What do you think?

6 months is enough that you really notice it IME, fuck using 1.5 year old petrol in any sort of performance application.

 

Double Capacity Pace Intercooler will be a problem (even though you say 16psi), the cam may be also. I would expect a properly mapped 1600cc RST on a Stage 3 T3 to make somewhere around the 230-250bhp mark without the problems I suggested, but with more boost.

IMO, fit a Newman cam and GRS Intercooler.

 

How much will the best newman cam cost.

 

What exactly happens in petrol that makes it go off?
