I have 20ltrs of optimax sitting in the garage that i forgot about, will it be ok to use in the scoob? Or will it off?

 

Better send it to me and i will sample it for you

 

I'd use it, just down mix it with 20ltrs of fresh.

Have used fuel thats been stored over winter and its been fine.

 

Optimax?! must be at least two years old! Don't do it

 

loving the comical replys.!!

And good suggestion about mixing it with fresh.. doh. how dumb am I.

 

Anyone want 50 litres of LRP thats been sitting since the 2000 fuel protests?

Didnt think so!

 

I've asked Pat Herbourn about this. His opinion is that fuel stored in the winter is OK for a few months as there is less evaporative loss of lighter components which would lead to a reduction of the RON value. In summer there will be more evaporative loss and caution is advisable. Dilution with fresh seems reasonable, just don't use stored fuel for a track day. Alternatively I'd just put it in my runabout which only runs on NUL.

 

my car sat for 5 months with a full tank of V-Power, started and ran no problem.

If you sell it don't forget to declare the substantail profit made

 

Save it for when it all runs out or for the next tanker drivers' strike. You could then auction it off on S-Net or E-Bay.
