I bought a 1937 Dodge dump truck many years ago at a auction for about $125.00 and checked the tank and it was almost full of gas that smelled like varnish. I started it up and drove it home. It ran fine but I noticed that it didn't get many miles to a gallon. But that was the "old type" of gasoline that was processed much differently then the fuels of today.



I have used old gas from junk vehicles many times in older vehicles, but I don't think I would use it in the vehicle I drive now unless it wasn't that old as the fuels of today start breaking down as soon as they are made.

Reminds me of the duct tape and poly plastic sheeting you bought years back and the stuff they have been selling for years now. The older tape and plastic would last a few years outside in the sun and rain, while the new stuff starts to rot away within months.
