Will using old petrol be harmful to my car?
It has gone yellow in colour.
Can I use it in my 2 litre injection car?
I have heard it dosant work as well, but worse it gums up the injectors.
I was thinking of adding a bit at a time to a tank of fresh petrol.
What do you think, and if I go the adding route in what proportions should I go for.
Answers:
Check to see if the old fuel still catches fire. If it does, it might, or might not still be good to use.
jus take it to a car shop, they'll do wat's needed
Dont use it. Get rid of it. It will clog up your fuel system.
Well I wouldn't advise it. I tried this many years sgo on my wife's car and it ruined the engine and costs a small fortune to repair!
Mixing it with new is a good idea. I would also filter it before putting it into my car, Course paper filter will do just to get out any debris, rust etc.
buy some Seafoam or STP Gas Treatment immeadately!! keep adding fresh petrol every time you use a little.keep as much fresh in there to help delute the old stuff.add some gas treatment too!! I recommend SeaFoam!
i wouldn't even chance it
I WOULDN'T EVEN PUT INTO A PETROL LAWN MOWER
fuel actually spoils.
it attracts moisture for the air. if it does not have the consistency, color or smell of when you boght, get rid of it
most people have to get rid of fuel in their boats if unused after a few months.
Petrol is a liquid gas and you do not burn the liquid you burn the gas and petrol will last if it is contained safely Do not try to burn it.
Yes you can use it in your car.
Dont do it ! Been there,done that and have the bill for repairs to injection system on a Ford Scorpio . Give it to the local kid who wakes you up at 3 in the morning with the sound of his "boom box" or whatever that thing is that makes that row they call music !
dont be a cheap skate just bin it or use it in a lawnmower or strimmer and if they blow up you have done the right thing it will be cheaper to replace.
I wouldn't try it.
The more-volatile compounds in the petrol will have evaporated, leaving only the less-volatile compunds. What you've effectively got in your garage is a half-way house between petrol and diesel - too volatile and too low lubricity for a diesel engine, not volatile enough and too viscous for a petrol engine.
I'd say find someone with oil-fired central heating, and add it to their heating fuel in the ratio of 1 litre of your goo to 100 litres or more of proper central heating fuel, and it shouldn't cause any problems.
If it has sat in you garage for three years then throw it away
If it has sat still for that long then it will be no use in your engine as the crap that develops in the fuel with just clog your engine , Not worth the cost. If you are that cheap to wont to use it then you are in real trouble
