I wonder.

My two stroke chainsaw fired up on the second pull today. I haven't used
it for about a year, and there was still gasoline/oil mix in its tank.

I always have a couple gallons of gas on hand from the previous year.
Usually I take it to a nearby service station and ask if they will
discard it for me so I can refill the can with new.


Why not just add a stabilizer to the gas when you initially fill up the
gas can? That way you can toss the unused gas into your truck/car tank
instead of throwing it away.

I do put stabilizer in, but I also mix the oil right away.... so I'm leery
of putting the mixed 50:1 gas in a vehicle with catalitic converter.
With my British Seagull 10:1 mixture..there's no question.
