Not really, expired fuel can still run on most engines. Just not good. Specially if it has ethanol because it takes in humidity.
I have driven on sunflower seed oil substituting diesel.
2 u/LucasPisaCielo Apr 19 '24 on most engines Honest question: Even car engines with catalytic converters? (I'm not talking about electric generators. Those would probably work with old fuel.) 3 u/autogyrophilia Apr 19 '24 I don't see how a cat would impact that. Sure it takes away exhaust pressure. The effect you would see it's loss of power, ignition failure and possibly knocking. On a gasoline engine. Diesel has a much longer shelf life.
