[QUOTE="Joburble, post: 1380557, member: 108776"] Hi there Been2Long, it's not really a matter of how old the oldest fuel you would trust is. It's really a matter of your bike will run like cr@p on old fuel. When I was young, that's a longish time ago, it was said that mixed fuel would loose its lubrication properties if it got real old because the oil would break down or something. Now I have never seen this, but what I have seen is the fuel loose its pep and be more like trying to run your bike on old soup. A few times over the years people have told me that their bike or car won't run properly when it has been stored for about 5 or 6 months and they couldn't figure it out. On those occasions I have told them to put new gas in and lo and behold they run fine (no big mystery there). Personally I use fresh gas on the day I ride and the longest I would use it after that would be the next weekend. After that I drain the tank and put the fuel in the car (yes 2 stroke as well). The longest I would use gas [U]in a real pinch[/U] is 1 month. To drain the tank I just remove it and pour it into a container ready for the car. My tank is normally removed between rides anyway as I only have my bike together when I ride it. I bought some fuel hose that I plug into the fuel tap for those occasions when the tank is not removed and it just drains into the gas can on the floor. NOTE: Do not leave this unattended like my son did when draining his bike, as when the can overflowed it pi$$ed gas all over the garage floor, I was not happy. P.S. Use the best grade fuel you can :nod: [/QUOTE]
