cant you just drain the tank and put fresh in?

flat out

i could do but if the petrol is allright i dont want to waste more money im out of work at the moment and money is tight sad i know

year and a half old petrol will struggle to burn - if that was in a lawnmower it WOULD NOT run, seriously!

flat out

looks like it will have to come out then GTI_ITG i did consider it but just wanted to hear i a few times

i wouldnt think it would make it sluggish to the point that it would not rev or anything, but it certainly won't help!!

In my mini convertable that I used to take off the road for 6 months it would absolutely pink its tits off until I put new fuel in if I went anything near full throttle.

Fuck using fuel 18 months old!

put some octane boost in it all it has done is the light ends in the fuel has died due to the natural water element in the fuel, bang some octane boost in there and give it a good shake about mate should do it

i bought my lawnmower 18 months ago and bought petrol at same time and im still using the petrol i bought 18 months ago and its fine. and ive got a 325i bmw in one of my sheds and thats been in there for 3 years and that still runs perfect started it last week ran perfect and thats over 3 year old petrol. personally from my experiences i cant see your problem being your petrol.

Fill it up with good stuff and drive it round off boost until the tank is empty.

i had some 6 month old fuel in the cossie .. it lost around 50 bhp on a rolling road.

bin it ... donate it to someone .. it is no good.....

drain it all out and refill it ...its the only way ....

if i dont start my fireblade up for 6 weeks or so it wont start until i drain the fuel and put fresh stuff in

use it to douse the interior and set light to it and claim on your insurance - no cash worries for a bit then
