JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com – For travelers who leave mobil when returning home for days, please be aware of the condition of the gasoline in the tank.
The reason is, with a car that is static without ever being heated, there is the potential for changes in chemical elements that make the fuel no longer optimally used.
This condition is often referred to as stale gasoline. Well, if left unchecked, it can have an impact on the performance of the car itself, such as fuel pump or the gas pump will be blocked.
Dealer Technical Support Dept. Head of PT Toyota Astra Motor (TAM) Didi Ahadi, said, if there is stale gasoline in the tank, it is better to drain the tank.
