Thanks Max,
Sounds like a plan. Once I drain the bowl I'll know better how
much water I may have in my gas cans. I suspect the gas in my Gen is
much older than the fuel in the gas cans - maybe going back to 2012.
The gas cans are used for the lawn mowers and usually end up empty at
some point every Summer, especially since I'm not the one taking care of
the grass anymore.
I'll let ya'll know what I find...
It's not supposed to get above 34F today so I need to bundle up even in
the garage. Brrrrr....

Larry,
Sounds like you simply need to drain / clean the carb, drain and refill the
tank. Take old stale gas to a recycling place.
I only store fuel that is ethanol free. In my area, many gas stations have a
dedicated pump just for ethanol free. Fill my storage as necessary, add a
stabilizer, but make every effort to consume within a year. Generally in the
spring I'll put all the leftover fuel into our gasser car. I also store the
generator with no fuel in the carb (shut off fuel then run the generator until
it dies).
