March 22nd, 2011 08:00 PM #12and i haven't had my gas tank cleaned in any way... since i got the car 13 years ago.. and since it's my coding car, a full tank can last for six weeks..
so far, no problem.
i think i'll wait for something to happen. who knows, it might last another 13 years.

March 27th, 2011 03:42 AM #15Id have my tank cleaned and filters replaced professionally if I were you. But not because of 'napapanis' na gas but in 13 years' time, madami ng dumi malamang nasa tangke mo -- kalawang, ipis, latak, etc.
I agree with the guy who said the shape of the tank tapers toward the bottom kasi I also had a civic from that era. I dont think your usage is small enough to warrant concern of fuel expiration. If I were you I'd just fill it up with non-E10 fuel until automatic most of the time though.
Rather that worry about the aging of the gas left in the tank, I'd be more worried about the moisture from a half empty tank causing damage. Leaving a tank fuller leaves less space for air and less chance of moisture causing damage including kalawang in the tank. My .02 -- but worth 20 petot.
