adi2009 Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 Hi, Well last August i got (200 ltrs) of 100 octane fuel for my bike. Unfortunately i hardly got to use it all up as i have been travelling a lot this year. The fuel is stored in plastic cans. Is it possilbe that the fuel could lose a few octane points??? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 Very possible. Fuel starts going off in a matter of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kosmic Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 If its air tight then its usually ok for 1-2months MAX. As Jake said after that it will tend to lose power. We have experience of this in the British/Euro kart championships were our 2-stroke 100cc units rev to 21000 RPM, we use 100 octane fuel by Atol, which goes off after about 6-8 weeks even when stored air tight.

adi2009 Posted June 15, 2005 Author Share Posted June 15, 2005 Could the octane rating be bumped up again by using some octane boosters??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kosmic Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 i think its more an issues with the consistency of the fuel rather than the octane. The chemical print of the fuel will change over a number of weeks, it may or may not affect your engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
