Just wondering because I had my 240 sitting for the last 6 monthis with a little over a 1/4 tank while I was rebuilding my SR. Now that I have it running it seems to hesitate at wot. I'm sure its not helping me.

eh, it takes a while for it to go bad. there isn't a whole lot in it to go bad, but putting a full tank in sure couldnt hurt.

is it premium?

if not that might be your culprit

if it is like mikey said fill it up and any traces of bad will mix in, should be fine

if neither, youve got another problem

actually, over time, gas will attract water. gas itself also goes stale, premium or not
