How long is too long (gas)?
 

Before gas in the tank is no good, its been in storage for 4 months!

Wanna start her up tomorrow, let her tick over etc
Should be ok no? maybe top her up just!


Thanks in advance

I would just start and drive it easy till it is low on fuel then fill up and enjoy.




That is what I do when my car sits over winter.

In my experience 4 months is no problem at all. When you start it if it smells bad/funny go easy if it smells normal no worries.

When a car truly has bad gas there's a major smell change in the exhaust.

In my experience, if it was stored indoors and the fuel was not crap in the first place, you should be able to just drive off with no worries. I would drive it easy until that tank is spent though. When I go through my first tank after winter it tends to stall a bit more easily and that goes away with fresh gas - that's been the worst that I've experienced.

4 months, no problem.

A gallon of Toluene will also help keep things safe.

I put Stabil in my gas because I do not drive all that much.

One of my other car sat outside for a year before I could move it into the garage for a motor swap, and I started it with 1 year old gas. It stumbled a bit but it starts and drives so 4 months gas shouldn't be a problem, but like everyone said go easy on it till you get a fresh tank.
