Harper 559 Report post Posted March 9, 2021 My E46 M3 went out of commission around mid September to rebuild the motor. Took longer than I had hoped given covid and other hiccups along the way. Hoping to finish up with the motor some time next week which puts the car at about 6 months of sitting with the same fuel it was parked up with. Probably a mix of Gull Force10 and BP98 as I use either depending on wherever I am closest to. Considering the motor going in is essentially completely refreshed (new rings, hone, bearings, refreshed head, cleaned and flow tested injectors etc) is it worth the time and money of discarding the 6 month old fuel and putting in fresh stuff? Tried to google what the shelf life of GF10 is but couldn't find anything concrete. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
