I never cease to be amazed at this stuff. I scrapped my 21' Cruisers, Inc. boat 2 weekends ago. Before doing so I had to tear out the fuel tank for enviornmental reasons. To make it lighter to lift I emptied it first. There were about 25 gallons of fuel in the tank, and it was at least 3 years old. (The last time the boat was run) I looked at it sitting in the 5 gal buckets I emptied it into, and it looked and smelled ok, so I said what the hell and put some in one of my lawnmowers... it ran perfectly!! So I put it in all my lawnmowers and string trimmers.. They all run perfectly!! 3 year old gas!!! The stuff is amazing... :head:

was this ethanol blended fuel?
No idea, but probably. NJ has mandated 10% ethanol gas for several years now.

I'm cheap. I can clean and reassemble a lawnmower engine's carb easily. Not so sure about the injectors in the Fancy Dancy Land Rover. :you:
But all kidding aside, I really don't thnk the gas would be a problem in a car. I'll
probably put a few gallons in the Jeep, diluted with some fresh gas. :head:
