If so, it sounds as if you have a build-up of condensation in the tank, worth trying as a "first port of call". Wait until the fuel level is down to ~1/4 tank (about 3 gallons left) then add 2L of meths to the tank :

Cheapest way of buying it at that volume as far as i know. This will emulsify with the water and allow it to be burned off normally. If it doesn't work, it's cheap enough to know you've tried a quick, cheap and easy fix that has got rid of the condensation. Note that the best ratio is 1:10 so more than 3-4 gallons of petrol will dilute it too much to have any real effect. |
Hi, thanks for the useful reply.
I going near Toolstation today, I'll get some meths. Yes, more temperamental when cold, but still bad tickover when hot. Of course, Ive got over half a tank of petrol.
