fuel shelf life
Just replaced the engine in my project wagon fired it up today runs ok but has a slight misfire then picks up.
The engine was running a month ago so is fine. But the actual wagon has not moved in over a year easily. had some fuel in it and I put an additional 10ltrs in about 2 weeks ago was just wondering if the fuel could be off causing the misfire. I pulled the line off and squirted some fuel in a bottle and it looks like pi$$ as in one of those really orange dehydrated pi$$ haha

This is an interesting read.

I'd run it off boost for a few tankfuls and add good quality octane booster when you fill up in that time.
Keep an eye on all your fuel lines for any leaks or signs of wear.

In addition to degrade some say it drops roughly 1 Ron in about 4-6 weeks
In addition to degrade ( gumming up ) about 12-18 months , clogging fuel pumps, lines, filters, injectors etc etc
