If you add "Stabil" to the gas it is good for a couple of years no problem.
This product is used by the marine industry in gas tanks to preserve
gasoline that sits for long periods in hot fuel tanks in the bilges. Even
after 2 years I have found the gas still is fine, probably not the same as
brand new but OK.

Subject: [MV] Stagnant Gasoline
How long can gasoline stay in a stationary vehicle's tank and still be safe
to use?
Much appreciation to the list member's for their response. After
an
Arizona summer of 115 degrees it's probably cooked as you said. The
gasoline to refill the tank costs about $25 more now than the stuff I'll
be discarding. Still, that's cheaper than buying a new carburetor or
pistons. Thanks again guys.
