his fuel will still be stale though, cos he just came and rode my bikes

however this is evidence he jumps more than 0.5 metres!

Lookin' good cheese. Been enjoying the stale gas stuff so hope there's plenty more mileage left in it. According to my calulations, fresh gas would only give you another 25.4mm of height on most jumps anyway.

After a long wait for parts, I had a stale gas issue but wasn't keen on tipping it into the car's fuel injection system. Poured it into a good size lump of foam rubber. Lots of surface area for fast evaporation. Shame to waste the dead dinosaur juice though.

Im a believer.

Try dropping a bit of fuel ("stale" or otherwise) directly into the throat of the carb, start it on that and watch it run quite happily on the "stale" fuel

Exactly what happened with me recently with a mate's 2 stroke outboard motor. God Only knows how long the fuel'd been sitting in it - 18 months at least.

No start... no start... no start... no start... no start...

Slosh of fuel and she went like a bought one and run quite happily on the "stale" fuel.

If it remains a concern - give me a ring - seriously - I'll buy it off you... 60c/litre ok?
