I agree old gas can be a problem. From my experience the worst
situation is gas that is left exposed to the air for extended periods
of time. I have has six month old gas in my motorcycle get all brown
and nasty, but gas in my sealed jerry can is fine almost a year later.
I also don't believe in Stabil. Ever since they were bought by Eagle
their product seems to have gone downhill. I find that Seafoam works
well as a fuel stabilizer, it still has limits.
