Subject: Re: Fuel for winter storage-Reg or Super by bigmoe on 2009/12/21 5:34:23 A lot of debate over this subject but one thing I know is that as gas ages it loses octane. I don't know how much over what time period though. People in the know have even told me that be sure and buy your premium from a station with higher traffic so the premium hasn't been in the station's tank for too long. Another thing is that gasohol (gas/alcohol blend) deteriorates the fastest. Most premium gas is not a blend. For these reasons I put premium in every gas engine I own if the fuel is going to be in the tank for an extended period of time. Also gasahol is not good in older vehicles because it tends to loosen up crud in your tank and lines which plugs your fuel filter. |
