Gas Longevity (Read 129 times)

Igggy YaBB Newbies Offline SuzukiSavage.com Rocks! Posts: 32 Las Vegas, NV Gender:	Gas Longevity 07/26/13 at 11:33:37 My thumper has been under wraps for over a month, and it may be another month before it's cool enough to ride here in Las Vegas. How long would you leave gas in the tank before draining and putting in fresh?

But the XJ900 did run on gas that was 9 year. My Volvo 142, last time I did fill gas in it must be over 5 year and it do still run on the same gas when I have to move it.

Posts: 28639 Tucson Az Gender:	Re: Gas Longevity Reply #4 - 07/26/13 at 13:22:47 I start worrying if it sits more than 2 or 3 months... if it's not older than 6 months, I drain it and add it to a full tank in my car... put fresh in the bike... If it's been sitting more than 6 months, I use it to kill ants... ...
