Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi, I own a 2000 996. It is kept in an unheated garage. I only use Sunoco high test (93 octane ) gas. I do not drive it in the winter months so it sits for periods of time. I try and start it at least once a week and bring it up to temperature. This doesn’t take a lot of fuel. I have a full tank of gas. My question is this. Is it necessary to use a fuel stabilizer? If it is what is the best kind to use? Thank you for any information from anyone that has a opinion or recommendations Tim

POST 2Original post

Does that Sunoco 93 have ethanol in it ? If yes I would recommend using a fuel stabilizer . When you say you start it and let it warm up does that mean it sits there at idle for 10-15 minutes ? That's one of the worst things you can do . Either drive it or don't start it until spring . Just my opinion .

POST 3Original post

Agree, only option is to drive car and bring up to operating temp. Idle for 10-15 minutes is bad news!!!!!

POST 5Original post

Yes you should use fuel stabilizer if the fuel sits for more than a couple of months.

POST 7Original post

Why exactly is it that idling for 15 minutes is bad?

POST 8Original post

Quotes source post: 12568798

Because it is nowhere near long enough for the oil to heat up to operating temperature so that the AOS system can boil off the water that has accumulated in the oil during cold start. If that water is not removed, it will slowly create acid formations that can and will attack multiple surfaces inside the engine. Unless you are going to drive the car for 25-30 min at highway speeds, do not start it, you would be creating the opportunity for problems.............

POST 9Original post

Even though you use high-quality 93 octane gas and keep the tank full, gasoline begins to degrade relatively quickly, usually within 3 to 6 months.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
