I would be more concerned by the corrosive effect of alcohol that is now in gasoline. This has been discussed extensively on the American Motorcycle Club of America site. Appears to eat carb parts like floats. I don't know an easy cure, short of buying your gas at a boat dock. .bill in oregon
_____ From: old-chevy-truck@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of rsims56 Sent: Monday, July 07, 2008 4:57 PM To: old-chevy-truck@yahoogroups.com Subject: [old-chevy-truck] Gasoline Stabilizer Question I have a very, very small gas tank leak on my farm tractor. As I was talking to the local tank repair shop he mentioned to me that gas bought from a service station was very unstable and that in as little as one month it breaks down into a benzene compound that "rots" your tank. He stated that "farm gas" does not have this same stability problem. He stated that you could buy a stabilizer that prevented the break down. Now I certainly have heard that gas will get "bad", but this is the first I have heard that it is corrosive enough to damage the gas tank. Can anyone confirm or refute the 30 day time frame and the corrosive nature? I may have to really change the way I treat my old truck and my other infrequently used vehicles.
