jony nitro Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 I use to always remove it from the tank, empty tank then try to start it a few times til you have burnt it out then a few drops of ARO down the hole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kernow-rush Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 yea the fuel is hydroscopic which means it attracts water will go off over time also you sould Never leave fuel in the tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missions1 Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 if container is new and unopened it shouldnt go off just give it a shake when you are gonna open it open fuel will go off eventually fuel in the tank i usually disconect both pipes and blow down the pressure pipe to get the fuel out (dont like running my tank empty makes engine run lean for a second) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spriggan Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 But dont return unused fuel to the can as it may be contaminated with water or dirt and spoil rest of the can! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 As well as absorbing moisture in the tank, it will also allow the methanol and nitro to evaporate leaving an oily gunk behind. This is not goo either! I have a large plastic syringe with a bit of fuel pipe on teh end which I uses to empty out the tank when I am done.

HATZY Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 I leave fuel in the tank no more than a week. And thats with the tank sealed. Use a piece of fuel tube from the preasure nipple of the tank to the fuel out nipple of the tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
