Like Nick and Malcolm, I've never had an trouble with stale petrol (touch wood!). The petrol in my SWB Saloon is Esso Super Unleaded from Bawtry last September and the car fires up no problem. I do, however, always let the carb run dry when I put the car away. When I had the Chummy that Ian McGowan now owns, whatever I did it always suffered a blocked jet within the first 10 miles of its first journey after a winter lay up. Bronze 22 FZ carb. Tried all sorts but it was only when I started letting the carb run dry before laying the car up that the problem stopped.
