Gary,

If the tank is not all rusted, I would just add some new gas and let her
rip.
Check the filter, I would probably put a new one in before I ran it so I
could
monitor how much garbage is coming out of the tank. I would use a clear
one first so I could see how much crap is being collected. I would them
change it for a good metal one so you don't have a fire.

There's about 4 or 5 gallons of stale gas in a Mopar that has sat for a 
about a year and a half. Stabil was put in the gas back then to help 
preserve it somewhat.

The gas still is liquid and will burn, but has that yellowish old fuel 
look (not clear) and smells a little bit off correct.

Should we:

* just run the old gas

* add a few gallons of new fuel to the gas tank to dilute the mixture 
and then run the car to burn the mixture off

*pull the gas tank and drain the old stuff? 

Or?

Thoughts appreciated.

Thanks,
Gary H.
