    Sometimes petrol goes off. Best bet is to fill it back up and give the car a good run/thrash :P

    you can buy an additive for stopping petrol degrading and turning into sludge, its used for storing vehicles, boats etc... and its cheap, errr come to think of it i used it in mine before i left.... or at least i hope i did! haha
