Gas too old?

[Kevin107]

Finally have some time to take the boat out today, but realized the boat have been in storage for awhile. Winterized with new fuel last November with stabil. Took the boat out twice and burned 1/4 of the fuel in March. Then went back to storage ever since due to the water level in dfw.
Do you think the fuel is still safe to use? Should I drain it and if so how?

Thank you in advance!

Fuel should still be good. I'm stilltrying to burn up the fuel from last summer, mix it with some new and good to go.

Will do. Thank you!

If you are concerned, try some PRI-G in the tank. I've been using it for years...my dirt toys sit during summer, my summer toys sit during winter and once for about a year and a half while I tended to some personal business. The fuel in the boat was just fine since I stored it with PRI-G:

Gas was still good. Day went great! Thanks for the tips.

That's awesome. Glad to hear. Draining the tank isn't the worse thing in the world, but it's no picnic either. Best way to empty the tank is to burn some fuel on the lake.
