[s-cars] Experience with leaking injectors?

[mtgadbois at aol.com]

Dave,

For long-term storage I use Stabil in my 2 Porsches.  They sit out the winter and are usually in storage for 5-6 months without being started.  As a matter of fact I am still running last year's gas (Shell 93) in the 993tt, all with no problem.

For your current problem you may want to look into Zmax fuel treatment.  A Porsche mechanic I know gave their products a high recommendation.  I'm using their oil treatment in the 993 and have experienced no problems.  I'm giving it a shot to see if it quiets a noisy lifter. 

Good luck,

Mark near Chicago

Further to my previous post on August 1st, I just picked up the RS2 injectors 
that I shipped last Monday to the fellow
 who serviced them in the fall of 2013. This is the note that was in the 
shipping box:

"David, whilst cleaning your injectors, a lot of milky white wax was 
back-flushed out of your injectors, which I feel suggests
 you have fuel separation issues in your gas tank. Old gas perhaps? I highly 
recommend, if possible, that you drain the tank,
 blow out your fuel lines and replace the inline fuel filter, as this problem 
will only re-occur.

When storing your car for any length of time place some fuel stabiliser in you 
gas tank as well.

I don't think the fuel is *that* old but maybe he is right. It's not a daily 
driver any more (partly because of the
 Catch 22 hot re-start issue).

Hmm... 

Any thought? BTDTs? I have about half a tank of what should be mostly 94 
Chevron.
