ust wondering what the situation is with my car, we don't use it a great deal it is often sat for several days between uses, and it can be two or three weeks between tank fills. Bear in mind that I am using E85 85% ethanol. Hopefully there is enough slopping around while driving that most of the moisture feeds through the system. I have been using it for the last 4 years and not particularly noticed a problem. Use more unmade roads to shake the fuel up ! 😉😉 Plenty of them here so should be ok for that 🤣🤣🤣🤣 |

Don’t think he ever gets the mix correct …yet its not blown up yet 👍🏻 I was told ( maybe unreliability ) that super unleaded and keep to half the Rev range would help classic cars using unleaded 🤔 |

A rather bitter and twisted rant explaining that " Ethanol does NOT absorb water directly from the air". Water in our fuel tanks comes from condensation (from humid air). The addition of ethanol will absorb any water that is already in our fuel and in that respect, is a 'good thing' - it helps keep our fuel water free! Long gone are the days that I'd get through tanks of fuel per week - these days I'm 'lucky' to go through a tank of fuel per month. I'd be a little worried about 'stale fuel' if I had a plug-in hybrid - used 'effectively' most journeys would be done in EV mode and a tank of fuel could last many months. But I don't, I have a self-charging hybrid and don't think that I need worry about fuel stabilisers for my car right now. If the fuel in ones car or power tools is likely to sit in the tank for over a year then stabilisers are, probably, a must ... |
