Okay, We started no problem today. Very little smoking and went for a short drive. Kept the vehicle's maximum speed to 50mph. New tires put on today. Checked sparks and they looked fine after initial drive. I drained the old gas out before starting and put in 20 litres of high octane. I am a little concerned that when I drained it initially I only was able to get about 15 litres out of it. I had very old gas in it with no stabilizer. My question is this, How thick could varnish be on bottom of tank due to 6 year old gas? When I went to fill car it didn't take very much. Only a few litres after the initial 20Litres. Can the varnish be inches thick? I am pretty sure I drained out all I could initially. On the ride home it seemed to be chugging and not getting enough fuel. I have ordered a new fuel filter which I should have within a couple days but I am very concerned about whats in the tank. I am not advanced enough to remove the tank either. Can I clean it while attached?
