Have a conundrum… gonna be running hopefully driving my 856 tomorrow after a year of various work on it and delay.. has new fuel line.. aftermarket Amazon carb.. never filled or run with fuel yet.. new fuel filter.. fuel clamps.. brand new never run electronic fuel pump.. I have 2 and 5 gallon plastic gas cans of gas cans non ethanol fuel without stabol.. stored under a lean too.. central Florida. Fuel bought specifically for tractor but now is probably a year old now.. should I use it in tractor or empty and fill with new non ethanol fuel and put in stabil in cans this time for unused fuel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adsm08 4,497 #4 Posted 2 hours ago (edited) Yes, that tank holds 1/2 a gallon. I'd put about a quart in the tractor and see how it runs on that stuff. If it runs poorly don't waste the old fuel, just put it in a car, the car will run fine even on stale fuel, then get fresh for the tractor. If you only have half a tank, or a little less, of stale fuel that leaves plenty of room to dilute it with fresh. I try not to store fuel more than a few weeks, but it should be good for at least six months. Edited 2 hours ago by adsm08 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
