I live in the boonies. The premium fuel only gets delivered once a month or so and sits in the tank. Is this gas still good?

Why do you use premium ? Most gy6 motors run better on regular. I have never bought premium for my gy6. The chinese say to use premium and that refers to chinese gas...they rate the octane different than in the usa

I use premium too. Just trying to be safe. My area has a few stations that get deliveries every 1-2 weeks

It depends on how often they pump the crud out of the bottom of that tank. Condensation buildup settles to the bottom and can be shaken into suspension by a number of factors.

why do you have to worry bout it?, old gas still burns,,,i had the gas on my boat for a year now, i crank it,,,still runs fine...whats the difference? if it burns, it must still be good right..? for me it's too much to worry about..... imo, during these hard times, we need to be practical.   |

I never get gas if they're filling the tank. Too much crap stirred up that way.

There is one gas station here that I will not buy from. They hardly ever sell gas to begin with so it sits forever. I've known many people to get gas there and start having issues with their car. No way I'm putting it in a scooter.

uhm, that's the purpose of the fuel filter. Wet slime can get through anything. Motorcycles have screen filters in their tanks. I saw someone get his Japanese motorcycle (KZ-400) disabled from sludge stirred up by the tanker filling the tanks in a gas station. I even have first hand experience with bad gas disabling my wife's Toyota. It happens everywhere, every day. |
