gas life - 6G Celicas Forums

whats up all, was wondering something... how long can gas sit before its no good?

as we all know, gas prices are making us grab out ankles and ive been eyeballing the ninja turtle even more now... it has 3/4 tank of 93 octane in it.

should i be good if i siphon it out? im thinking i will only loose some octane since it has been sitting since april 22 07.

btw went to autozone, and they told me they didnt sell any siphons, where can i get one i dont feel like getting a hose and getting a mouth full of gas lol

I got a syphon at napa. I had to drain a tank to replace a fuel pump in my corolla.
If it smells bad don't use it, you should be able to tell, if it smells ok I would use it
but only as filler, say a couple gallons to 10 of fresh gas.

JDM guy made me do it.
