Hi,

I have a 60 litre tank. I dont let it get less than 1/4 of a tank.

question....should I run out most of the fuel so it doesn't go bad, or will it be ok ?

I dont want old fuel sitting in.there, however I figure it will swish around and mix up.

What are your thoughts ?


Thanks

Short answer: I'd do what you have been doing.
Longer answer: If you burn down to 15 liters, refill and repeat. There will less than 4 liters of the original old fuel remaining when you refill. I can't imagine that 4 liters mixed with 56 liters of new fuel would be noticeable.

I would treat fuel that is left in the tank with seafoam or stabil. Also partial filled tanks lead to condensation. But if your running a water separating filter that should not be a problem.
