Never Let Gasoline Sit In Your Car Longer Than This

Hi Scotty, my 2012 Nissan Altima has 70,000 miles on it. When I turn the a/c on, the car vibrates at idle and I notice a drop in power, engine revs louder at 3k+ rpms, and gas mileage is horrible. The stealership said I probably need the throttle body and fuel injectors cleaned. Also when i put it into gear either drive or reverse it kicks a little. What do you think could be the problem? Thanks.

I have E85 on my Chevy Tahoe and it’s been sitting for about 5 months do u think it went bad ?

I use Stabil...2000 MaximaSE, Honda generator........works well thank you Scotty

realize the E10 has additive that prevent the ethanol inside to cause problems. Most things are myths these days by guys who are not gasoline engineers

Scotty, everybody says NEVER use E10 in an old car with a carburetor. They say the alcohol will turn the rubber fuel lines to mush, eat the seals out of the carburetor, corrode the aluminum float bowel, the brass bits like the jets and float valve seat and dislodge any gunk in the fuel system and clog the ports and jets up.

I'm not an advocate for ethanol but I've been using E10 in all of my old cars for years without any problems. This fuel has never done any damage to the fuel system that people says it does. I also can't find any evidence that 100% gas get's any better fuel economy than E10.

I can see if water contaminates the fuel could do damage to these parts. In fact one time I was using 100% gasoline in my riding mower and forgot to top the tank off in the fall and by spring, water had condensed in the fuel tank and blinded the fuel filter over and no gasoline would pass through it. So what I thought I was trying to avoid happening by using 100% gasoline happened to me anyway!

What's your take on this?
