Why take a chance? Fouled carbs are a lot worse than a new tank of gas. Pump out the old gas and use it in your lawnmower, and fill your tank with new gas... you'll be fine. As to additives, I highly recommend Sta-bil fuel stabilizer. Get the new stuff that's good with ethanol enriched gasoline. Congrats on your V20 purchase. Post pics of your baby if you can... we love boat porn.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God)

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
