My question is, would it be bad to store my GSX with E85 for 7 months this winter? I'm not sure how fast this fuel goes bad. I've usually stored it with 91 and fuel stabilizer which works but I don't want to mess with switching fuel and tuning again. Any input is much appreciated, thanks!
 
Not to bash you or anything, but why the f**K are people so lazy? I'm not trying to be a dick, I'm just venting, but seriously just drain all the fuel from your tank while the car is in storage. Sorry for the hostility!
 
You're supposed to fill the tank full when you store it so you don't get condensation in the tank. Right now I'm storing my car for a year with a full tank of E85. This is my first time though so I am not sure what to expect. I'm going back home this weekend and I will be putting stabilizer in the tank also.
 
90laserRSfwd, it certainly isn't the laziness of it, 4g63tcrazy said it right about condensation and water getting in there. In MN, our temp fluctuates so much that condesation is a common thing, even with those cars that don't get stored. Thanks for the input so far but i'm still looking for more if any is available. Thanks
