My friend had an auction sale for his father's estate. Cars and trucks had sat for five years in storage.We added fresh gas to what was in the tanks and had mixed results.The tractors generally started but these were antique Massey Harris tractors that will run on low octane,the '32 chev car would not start,but when we put fresh gas in the carb it fired up and would run on the old gas/new gas mix,it just wouldn't start on it. Car and pickup started on the old gas/new gas mix....its only a part tank so fill it with fresh and it will likely work, once the engines were warmed up they seemed to run fine on the fuel mix ,fuel stabalizer for future periods of storage will prevent all this.Good luck. In addition my experience is that gasoline doesn't have to sit very long before it breaks down and losses its potential..maybe six months in a chain saw or lawn mower..my mower wouldn't start this spring,dumped it, added fresh and it fired right up.
