Currently my RX-7 is in storage, how long is the gas good for, or does gas even go bad anymore?

fuel is hydrophillic...or it attracts moisture...i would not let it sit for more than a few months



just my 2 cents

 

I agree. A few months tops. You can buy a fuel stabilizer (Stabil) that is supposed to keep the fuel from crapping up your fuel system, but I don't have first hand experience with it.

 

yeah word is a couple months, 3 tops. Just throw some fuel stabilizer in there.

 

if you cant do that ..you will need to put methanol into the fuel....no **** this works in small amounts



methanol absorbs water

 

Threw some stabilizer in her tonight and let her run for about 15 minutes. The cars been started every 3 weeks since it was put in storage but I never thought about my gas going bad. I'll have to let her run for an hour or so before I put her on the road so I can through some premium gas in it before driving (And baby the first tank).

when the gas smells like varnish, your screwed

 

yah, you have to chip it out with a chisel, that about the worst job ever

WILL THE CAR STILL START IF THE GAS HAS GONE BAD?

 

probably will start



probably will run kinda shitty



just put the stabilizer in the tank

and when you decide to take the car out of storage, bring a jug full of fresh gas. You can easily empty the tank before putting in fresh gas too, just pull the hose off the rats nest after the fuel filter, and turn the pump on.
