Old gas with sta-bil

[nicknorth11]

The last time my car ran was in October. I put sta-bil in it in December. The tank is 3/4 full. Will it run alright as long as I don't boost?

From past experience, I've used it in various applications and the fuel keeps and runs good, at least in 'normal' applications - they claim it's good for 12 months. I'd reckon if you didn't hit your turbocharger you'd be just fine. I'd probably toss in a new fuel filter after you burn through that tank of gas, personally.

If you are unsure just add one or two bottle of octane boost. Gas has stat in my GN for longer that and I did not see any driving issues.

You should be fine. Run that tank down to the warning light and re-fill, it'll all be gone. It's only a couple hundred miles, don't you have an Indian Casino to go visit?

My dad has been using stabil in his triumph for a number of years, and I have used it over the two winters I have owned my car, and not noticed anything after taking it out of storage in the spring. Mind you, I wasn't boosting the car 5 minutes after taking it out, and waited until I put in at least a splash of new gas before any heavy driving
