Bad Fuel Pump - Old Gas

Post by daytonajim »

Replacing a fuel pump is expensive & very time consuming. It could easily be $2k.

If you do not drive your GMMG a lot bad fuel is a problem.

A few ideas to consider...………..

At a minimum drive the car a couple miles in the spring & fall. Let it warm up & go for a short ride to be sure brakes, transmission & everything works OK.

Add Sea Foam or Stabil to the gas. I add it begore the drive so it gets in the fuel system.

Change oil & filter every couple of years

Vince Miller has a better solution...….

Suck/pump the gas tank dry

Add 2 or 3 gallons of special SUNOCO Racing Ruel that has a shelf life of 5+ years (instructions & part #'s coming from Vince)
.
