98 Blaster, u stupid *** hole. If gas sets long enough it will go bad. I don't know about Sunoco, but pump gas will. I run Sunoco too. But I have never let it set that long. If I was you I would go ahead and drain the tank and put some new in it, just to make sure.

Uh ok, if you say so. Hit puberty yet. Anyway yes gas does go bad. If it is race gas, I really wouldnt worry though, it keeps alot better than pump gas does. It would be ashame to just drain that expensive gas. If it was me, I would drain it but Im a maintenance freak when it comes to my baby.

Gas does go bad but not that quickly, as long as it wasn't exposed to water.

BLUE....I run Unical 110oct.The only thing that I would really recommend is that you make sure when you put the bike up is that you shut the gas off and run out the last bit of gas in the carb.
This is Very important. When race gas
sits it turns into Varnish wich will gum up the jets. (very bad) The gas in the tank WILL NOT GO BAD in only a few weeks, It would be a big waste to dump it.
110oct. only loses 1 to 2 oct. in a metal drum after sitting 6 months to
1 year. Gas will last.
