This section discusses what to check with your fuel.<\/p>\n
As gasoline ages, the way it smells changes.\u00a0 I don’t particularily like the smell of gasoline, but old gasoline smells even worse.\u00a0 Most gasoline now contains a certain percentage of alcohol.\u00a0 Since alcohol tends to absorb moisture current gasoline tends to deteriorate rather rapidly.\u00a0 There are several additives that you can put in gasoline to slow down the aging process.\u00a0 I add MMO (Marvel Mystery Oil) to all my gasoline since it also seems to prevent a variety of problems such as sticking valves.\u00a0 But I’m sure any automotive supply shop can recommend something that will work for you.<\/p>\n
I would recommend that you remove the gas tank to make sure that you’ve removed all the old gasoline.\u00a0 If the gasoline has gotten so old that it’s in the “gummy” stage, you’ll have use some sort of chemical cleaning process.\u00a0 Muriatic acid will work for this but must be used with extreme care and don’t use it if you’re not used to dealing with it.\u00a0 The fumes can kill you.\u00a0 Rather than take a chance with something you don’t know how to deal with, I’d suggest you check with your local automotive supply shop for a recommendation.<\/p>\n
