Rough running today....but got better

Post by emac »

I haven't driven my M6 much this year. I decided to drive it this morning. A little slow starting and had a skip, which was weird as it always runs perfect. I noticed it was pretty low on fuel, so I stopped at the station and filled it up with premium/non ethanol. Skipped the rest of the drive to work. I figured I was in for pulling the injectors or some fuel related issue. Fired her up at lunch and all was good again.

I always make a note of when I fill up, so I can know the age of the fuel in the car. I use non ethanol with stabil in my cars that sit. The fuel in the m6 was 11 months old, and the tank was almost empty. Bad combo. Going to drive it more. Sitting is the worst thing for a car.
