Bad fuel

Took the cover off and he pronounced "Bad gas, smell that varnish smell" and yes, I did. He verified spark and fuel delivery. He sprayed starting fluid in and she she started but died as soon as it was gas only. Yes, this gas is about 4 months old and probably had ethanol but the tank is nearly full so I did not think I'd get enough humidity in to matter. He advised to NEVER buy fuel with ethanol in it and never keep fuel for more than a couple of weeks. Unless I buy only at marinas, it will be tough to find ethanol free fuel. I keep gas in the tank over winter...and the motor starts the first time in the spring. What's your secret to successful gas storage? He gets special gas because he's a special guy! |
