It will be fine, if you've got an old/weak battery you may want to disconnect it, but you shouldn't need for that long.

what does it matter if ur battery is week or not?

i dont think it would be healthy as the petrol will loose its octane, which would be like using 91 in it im guessing??

not for a week, petrol goes "stale" after about a month or so... should be fine, just d/c battery.

im very curious one finding out how long u can hold petrol before it actually goes bad. Does any one actually know?

does some premium go off quicker than others or is it all the same
