OK, this morning I needed to do a little job with a tractor. My favorite, the SC case is making Ice cream at the show. The oliver has the mower on it, the 630 gas a bad genny, the 51 A has a dead battery and the neighbor borrowed the 1086, so I went to the barn and fired up the Farmall B that has had the same ethanol gas sitting in the tank for at least three years. It has been fired up once a year with no water in it so it wasn't run long. I took the gas cap off and took a sniff. It smelled like regular gas in good shape but it didn't have that ethanol smell.

I don't think I could convince the naysayers the gas was not bad even if they smelled it so you have to take my word for it. Now, this tractor is stored in a big old wooden barn out of the sun and quick temperature changes. It still gets down to zero in the winter and boy is it hot in there in the summer though. It seems to me like gasoline in a small tank like a lawn mower will go bad faster. I have no scientific reasoning though.
