can i use last years gas?

[beluga11]

I have a ZODIAC PRO with a 40 hp yamaha. Now that fishing season is starting, I took the boat of storage. Last November I stored it with the gas tank 3/4 full of non-enthanol gas, and added the correct amount gas stabilizer. Can some tell me if this gas is still good? I hate to dump it . Honestly, I am not even sure where I can do that safely in my island town.

i have always worried far too much about this situation ,i have drained a couple of very large tanks on boats over the years ,to gain what i call "lawnmower petrol" (as this is where it gets used ) funny enough mowers never fail on it ,and it takes a few more years to use up !! .........i also think efi engines seem far less bothered by it .
just my expierience ,as i always say "theres no laybys out there !

This question comes up a lot. Honestly, I use last year's fuel pretty much every year. If you're worried, store it in a jerry can and use for the lawnmower, strimmer, petrol car (topped up with fresh fuel).

I always fill my tank at the end of the season & store it full over the winter. I ain’t binning it come the following season.[emoji57] never had a problem.

I always use last years fuel without a problem.

I normally leave the tank 1/2 to 3/4 full. Plastic tank so I don't think condensation is an issue.

Then I top up with fresh fuel at the beginning of the season.

I’ve used last years fuel for years.

I'm always fascinated by people who worry if they'll be OK using last year's fuel...

...I worry if I'll be OK when the time comes to use NEXT year's fuel!

I’ll happily use anyone’s left over last years fuel [emoji1]

Never lasts long enough to go stale in the tank.
I just keep pouring it in and burning it.
If only I could recoup all the money I've "invested" in the oil industry over the years.

I fuel stableise and top before first trip I never throw fuel way it goes into the garden stuff if they don't work result

The theory on this says one thing the real world results say another. Use it and be happy
