cars been sitting for 4 months with half a tank in it and now im havin problems startin it do ya think it's the fuel ?

 

No, even on fuel thats gone off quite badly a car normally starts, it just pinks.


my calibra started recently on fuel over 2 years old.

 

Ok cheers i'll have to start changin plugs thanks for ya help

 

What chip said.....

I started my supra yesterday... had 1year old fuel in it and started no problem!!

 

I was gonna ask a similar question. In a car that really needs 97 octane fuel will it damage the engine if the car has been sitting? And how long does it take to go off?
Someone once said regarding teh shell optimax that it's produced as over 100 octane or something and is guaranteed to be at least 97 when u pump it. But does that carry on degrading quite quickly in a petrol tank?

 

I had fuel in the Escos for 5 years and it started on the button... probably ruined the fuel system but it did start and drive
