Quick question. I was wondering, could old gas create build-up in injectors? I know that old gas when ran makes varnish deposits on spark plugs, so do injectors get affected by old gas?

how old is the gas and did you put any conditioners in there before you let it sit? did you pump out the old gas and fill it up with fresh gas?

Gas in the past could go for about 9 mo to 1 year. Todays gas starts to deterioate after 3 months according to a few knowledgeable professionals I have spoken too. When indought throw it out. It could do more harm than good. The product "STABLE" is good stuff and extends the shelf life to about 2 years. Use the old gas on something else or if your straped for cash add it a gallon per tankful. My call is to dump it.
