how can I go, without starting the car...
I have a lightly modded, street ported, S5 Turbo II , disconnected OMP.
The cars currently at the body shop. Last time I started/warmed up was about 2 1/2 weeks ago. It didn't start it for a week before that. I started it , let it warm up. I noticed alot of black smoke, i'm guessing from the premix, sitting at the bottom at the gas tank.I didn't get worried...Now my cars been at the body shop for the last 2 1/2 weeks outside.I live in Chicago, 40-60 degrees outside, so its pretty cold...But now its going to worked on in the bay until its finished and painted,for the next 2 weeks. So basically car hasn't started in a month. Only thing preventing me from starting it up, is a shattered, FMIC end tank which is getting repaired right now. which will be fixed, in a couple days. So I was wondering, How long you can go without starting the motor...before possibly damaging the motor , gasoline going bad.... Thanks
