    I Have Gas

    Curious who opened this thread ;) Dumb Question about gas - I removed my main tank in December to do some welding in the rear. Tank is 3/4 full and I did not add any stabilizer to the gas. Can I still use it or should I pump it out and get new gas? How long does gas last before it breaks down?
