Gasoline Question
Posted: Wed Jun 06, 2007 5:31 pm
Approximately how long does it take gasoline to varnish?
My Road Runner has been sitting without running for at least a year. I plan to replace the carburetor and intake anyway; however, what steps can I do to ensure that I don't cause harm to my new carb?
My plan is:
Remove the gas tank and drain it, but how do I actually clean all the varnish out?
What about the gas lines from the tank to the carburetor? How do I clean those?
I was gonna just run the car for a little bit with the old carb until all the gas is sucked out of the lines, but didn't know if it was a bad idea.
