Hi guys just a quick one that i need help with! basically ive used all the petrol in my tank, and its sat on the drive at the moment as i cant use it for a few weeks it started cutting out and spluttering the last time i started it so i just need to know if this is likely to cause any damage ( any crap from the bottom of the tank being sucked in?) and also if when i put more in do i need to do anything to get it going again or will it just start? probably sounds like stupid questions lol but havnt got any knowlege of anything yet and am still learning! thanks for any replies :)

ok thanks mate :)

its better to leave it with fuel in the tank and lines, it prevents corrosion

obviously if your leaving it for 6+ months then its best to drain it out and refill with fresh fuel, but for a few weeks....id have filled the tank up, for the reasons ive stated
