I have seen the bottom 1/3 of a fuel tank thick with stabilizer and Marvel
Mystery oil. Neither is necessary, but the repair shop was happy to take the
guy's money to fix the mess.

The gas that we get here in New England after 2 months of sitting in the
tank is old and has "deteriorated." SAure, it burns, but it's not as good

=============================

Sorry but I sincerely believe that to be bull. Two month old gas
should not be an issue.

As others have said, I'd add the recommended amount of stabilizer,
give it time to mix, and then run the engine for awhile. You'll be
fine.

From personal experience satbilizer does not work on gas-oil mixture.
Clean out the carborator bowl before storage to prevent a gooey mess.
