Fuel/Starting related questions

[carter]

i was wonderin how long does it take to fuel to go bad in supra's? I've read a couple threads outside of SM and it said that it depends on the car. So I'm just wonderin, cuz my supra has been sittin for a year plus.

My guess, is go grab some stablizer and throw some 91 or cam2 in and go from there...

Just let me know what you guys think,

did you see if you had spark first?
what is ur fuel pressure?
check these first and report back, i would want to make sure ur getting everything you need for combustion b4 you blame the fuel.

ps. check the timing belt and make sure all of ur marks are lined up correctly.

he never said his car is having issues...he's just wondering how long gas will last in the supra before going bad.

to answer your question, i wouldnt chance it. gas prices are so cheap now. down to $1.50 where i live! colorado.

anywho, theres a nut underneath the gas tank...just undo it and drain your tank and put new stuff in it. good to go.

dont know, guess it depends on the fuel. Ive had gas sit over the winter in my jetskit's and it cranks right up (chewed the jets in the carb up tho)

i'm pretty sure...actually i know it will start up. its the fact that its dirty.

i've started up a toyota before and it sat for 3 years....ran like a champ...how long it kept running...i dont know. it was a customers.

better safe than sorry. just drain the old crap gas and refill with new. especially since gas is cheap. if your worried that much put some octane booster and stabilizer in there or something

well i got the money to hopefully do all that needs to be done. So i'ma go back over recheck everything, grab 93 octane and some stablizer.

but thanks for the replys and what not... I'll let you guys know what goes on.
