Have stored my Audi with a full tank of untreated gas for 1 year. Will PRI restore the old gasoline to safe operating specs?

Gas is probably still good. I would run the gas out, add new gas then add PRI-G if you plan further storage.

I have heard that gas with ethanol goes bad pretty fast, and that is what all the gas is now at regular gas stations. To be on the safe side, you probably ought to drain your tank and get rid of the old stuff. Pri-G is best added when the fuel is fresh to keep it from going bad in the first place--I don't think it can restore it if it is already bad. We buy pure gas with no ethanol in it for some smaller four stroke machines we have, and the guy who sold it to us said that it is a lot more stable than gas with ethanol in it. He said he could leave the pure gas in the tank of his motorcycle for a long time without any additives and it was fine. I am not an expert on these things however and I would suggest that you consult your mechanic on this issue as they probably have good experience with it and can tell you if the old gas will damage your engine.

I did my BMW tank with a quart, I did it on a very hot day and it has been sealed ever since

'72 Super Beetle. I have bought two of these tanks. Mind you, they are Stainless Steel plated. To give them a longer life, I had them clear coated. Also ... I only run ethanol free gas in my cars, as a normal tank, if it sits, will be eaten up by regular gas. If you drive it daily, a regular tank will last 20 years. These tanks, however, are excellent quality and I am very pleased with the two I purchased.

Yes, to remove the liquid gas, but after 2 years the tank and carburetor will probably need to be cleaned.

It is just a recovery unit. You will need to also have a recovery tank to store the recovered refrigerant.

Yes. It is safe for all years. If you replace all the coolant you should also use a small bottle if coolant system conditioner.

The first question I would ask is: is it open? Where did you store it? If you had not opened it and it was stored in a cool dry place, I it would be fine. If not you should dispose of it. In the grand scheme of things this stuff costs $7. If in doubt throw it out. I only bought it because it extends my warranty. I like that it's 95 octane. I usually mix my own at 40:1 or 50:1.

Where I live, E10 gasoline is all we have. I've been using stabilizer in that gas since the ethanol was mandated. The E10 gas takes a while to go stale and get appreciable water separation. Nevertheless, if you are going to keep gasoline in the generator, stabilized or not, keep only a small amount in it, then start and run it every couple of weeks for 30-60 minutes. That will keep the water separation and stale gas problem to a minimum. In addition, when and if you need the generator you will know how to use it and be confident of it starting.

Call manufacture tech support. Your unit may still be under warranty. Your could have a clogged fuel filter. Never leave old fuel in unit during none use months. follow manufactures storage instructions for none use periods.

hey John,I have been using this stuff for a while now. I haven';t had gas longer than 3 months in a container and it works fine. the label states that it keep fuel fresh for up to 1 year however I assume it;s the conditions that you keep the gas in.If you have the gas in crazy conditions( hot or cold) i doubt the gas will make it to a year. i would say 6 months is a safe bet.

I encountered this problem and while reading the manual I found that fresh gas must be used for proper operation. I replaced the gas and it performed well.

Unleaded gasoline or "gas". 87, 89 or 91 octane. 10% ethanol is ok but use stabilizer if storing. Ethanol free gas is better. I recommend avoiding this pump. Its crap. Spend a little more on a better brand if you need to rely on it at all.

I try to keep some on hand continuously, just in case I might need it. I carry one gallon pre-mixed 50/50 in my Audi, and keep one gallon in my garage.

Yes,and no. I just called Just Rite Man.at 1-800-798-9250 and spoke with Justin in cust. Service and he said not to store diesel fuel in the can for more then one year.The fuel will react with the galvanization in the can and contaminate the fuel and possibly damage an engine.Although he added,that this has not happened in the six years he has been with the company that he is aware of.I have a John deere tractor, and in the manual they suggest not using galvanized cans and only use plastic ones. John Deere is covering there butts I assume,because I have used the Just Rite yellow fuel cans for YEARS before I heard you should not store diesel fuel in them more one year and never had a problem,of corse NOW I will make sure I will use up the fuel by the end of the year.it's probably not a good idea to use diesel fuel that's more then one year old ANYWAY. Well that's the scoop from Just Rite themselves. I hope this is helpful.Fonzie.

well ... i have done sorta the same thing --- the gas (non -alcohol- about 4 gallons in a jerry can) was maybe seven (plus) weeks old (treated with stabil) and i put the required amount of pri-g in it - let it sit for the morning (maybe three hours) and used it in my old chainsaw for the rest of the day = maybe four or five hours of 'bucking' and i had no problems ... i was told this process would work and thought i would give it a try and it worked for me .... hope that experience i had gives an answer to your question ---- that pri-g just seems to be the best 'treatment' i have ever used = it just-simply works well ... i have done sorta the same thing --- the gas (non -alcohol- about 4 gallons in a jerry can) was maybe seven (plus) weeks old (treated with stabil) and i put the required amount of pri-g in it - let it sit for the morning (maybe three hours) and used it in my old chainsaw for the rest of the day = maybe four or five hours of 'bucking' and i had no problems ... i was told this process would work and thought i would give it a try and it worked for me .... hope that experience i had gives an answer to your question ---- that pri-g just seems to be the best 'treatment' i have ever used... » Read More well ... i have done sorta the same thing --- the gas (non -alcohol- about 4 gallons in a jerry can) was maybe seven (plus) weeks old (treated with stabil) and i put the required amount of pri-g in it - let it sit for the morning (maybe three hours) and used it in my old chainsaw for the rest of the day = maybe four or five hours of 'bucking' and i had no problems ... i was told this process would work and thought i would give it a try and it worked for me .... hope that experience i had gives an answer to your question ---- that pri-g just seems to be the best 'treatment' i have ever used = it just-simply works « Show Less

Did you add "Stable" in the gas after the last run? It is most likely a gummed up carb, because of todays crap gasoline.
