I think old stale gas will still ignite and fire. Gas in an unsealed can will let off vapor which I think is the stuff that makes it fire better.
The main problem and rub is that old gas sits in the carb and turns to varnish which plugs up the little passages. I think Stabil does more to keep gas for turning to varnish than it does to preserve the gas so it will ignite. The other rub on the ethonal gas is that the alcohol tends to make rubber orings, diaphrams, and fuel lines get hard and corrode. Stabil may help with that as well.
I wonder if a guy could take a gas regulator, valve, and outlet setup off of an old propane gas grill and tie it into a small engine intake with some type of hose big enough to let air in as well. If you can run an engine off of a spray can of starting fluid, then you should be able to do the same with propane. If someone has done this or tried this then start a thread on it.
