I recently drained about 5 gallons of old gasoline from the gas tank of a parts tractor of mine. I needed the tank for another project. The gas is from about 2008. It smells like turpentine and is somewhat dark in color, but has no water or foreign materials in it. When you Google "old gasoline" about half the respondents say that you can mix old gas with new gas about 15% (old) to 85% new)and it will burn OK in a carburetor engine like a lawn mower or an old tractor. The other half of the respondents say to avoid burning any old gas because it will foul the spark plugs, gum up the carb, etc. Does anyone here have any experience, either pro or con, using small amounts of old gas in a tank full of fresh gas?
