Hello, back again after a long hiatus
I haven't been driving regularly for some time. The last time I drove my Micra in December I noticed the fuel gauge was inaccurate. The car was driven, then parked warm, when I came back to it 2 hours later it showed I had more fuel than I had previously.
It's parked outdoors not under any shelter. I've not driven it since December and I don't remember when I last bought fuel, so what has been in there has been sitting for a while, and I'm not sure how much is in there because the gauge is lying. I sniffed it, it still smells like petrol
What are the chances that when I start it next week the fuel is either wet with water contamination or gunked/gelled up? I'm thinking if I drive it to a petrol station and fill it full, and then drive around for a while and fill it again it may dilute it enough with good fuel that I don't have any issues with blockages? Is this a good idea, is there a better way of doing it?
(There's no battery issues, I thought ahead to sort that out, but neglected everything else)
