Can very old gasoline be used?

Question

Is it possible for 2 year old gasoline to be stabilized and "revitalized"?

What agent can be used to refurbish old gas?

Answer 1

I can only speak from my own experience - I've stored gasoline for over a year, numerous times, and I have never had a problem using it in anything.  Once in a while I will use Sta-Bil, but usually not.

Answer 2

You can use Stabil to help out some. I would mix it with new gas also.

Answer 3

Not likely...old gas becomes stale and "varnishy" after sitting for a month or so. No way to revitalize it that I'm aware of other than re-refining it. Stabil or Seafoam products and other similiar ones help to keep gas from going sour if added before they do so.

Answer 4

The only thing you can really do is add high octane fuel to is its what i did with my ski-doo if there was a bit of gas left. Sta-bil and other stabilizers are just used to prevent the deterioration of fuel it won't bring it back to new. gas usually only takes 60 days to go bad. and i think you'd be better off with just using all new gas.
