RickyWee 3rd Gear April 13, 2020 Share April 13, 2020 Since the Circuit Breaker, most of us will be staying at home and will not be using our cars. So this get me thinking🤔, will our gas turn bad👎 if we do not use our car? How long⏳ will it take to turn bad? and how can we prevent it from turning bad if we no not use our car. Any maintenance tips? ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any maintenance tips? Petrol is an evaporative substance, as long as we keep it in a sealed petrol tank, it should last about a few months. However, the petrol will degrade when you have kept the petrol inside the tank for too long. So for those who are running on high octane engine, best is to get a bottle of octane booster or fuel stabilizer to keep the petrol in optimum condition. https://shopee.sg/Liqui-Moly-Octane-Plus-2956-150ml-i.20084937.1136395235 My go-to product for this is Liqui-Moly Octane Plus. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinceng Turbocharged April 13, 2020 Share April 13, 2020 I think of more concern is the flat spot on the tyre when parked over an extended period. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can try to over-inflated it to if you really foresee not during at all during this period of time. . . But best is to drive around the carpark. . . The engine and transmission oil can circulate abit also. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
