I have a ‘68 F-250 hear in the UK. Those of us with classic vehicles are told not to leave gas in them during our winter lay up, as it goes off around 6 months old. Mine will most certainly only run on fresh gas the following summer.

[@jtsbarnngrill6873]

I can believe that. Gas isn’t what it once was!

[@Massey-man]

@@jtsbarnngrill6873Absolutely. We have gas with 10% Ethanol, so the classic guys go for the premium product that is usually 5% or less ethanol, to help resist fuel system corrosion, but 6 months later, you can hardly light it with a match. Many mowers go into workshops after winter because ‘it won’t start’. 90% of the time, new gas, and they’re away. Love your channel mate, keep it up, and have fun 👍
