Why is new petrol bad.. Just wondered this

by **KinLoud** » Wed May 12, 2004 4:01 pm

Unleaded fuel has (I'm pretty sure) additives that have a higher volatility than the basic petrol. Volatility is related to how quickly it will evaporate.
These additives give a higher octane rating (which is good) instead of using lead (which is bad for your health).
What happens is that the additives can evaporate and so the octane rating of the fuel will drop a bit - it will still burn ok though!
If the petrol is kept in a sealed container it can be good for years.
If you are parking a car up for a while maybe make sure that the tank is full to minimise any water condensation forming.
