I started moving into my new place the spring of 2012. The
7,000 Watt back up generator was stored in the barn for at
least a year before that while the house sat on the market.
Who knows how long before that it had been refueled. I've
only had to run it a coupe of times because of power outages
and that was only for short periods. I've only added a couple
of gallons of fresh fuel w/stabil to it and that was last
year. With the bad weather I fired it up at the beginning of
February and ran it for about 15 minutes to make sure all was
ok with it and the battery. Ran fine with that 4 to 5 or
older fuel in it.
Am doing a static test of fixed amounts of E-10 which I
botteled up at the beginning of last summer. Some inside the
barn sealed, and some open. Some outside in full sun sealed,
some vented. Some from the summer before. Gonna leave it all
for a full year and report what it looks like and how the
sealed fuel runs in a motor.
There are a lot of myth's about E-10 floating around out there also.
