I decided to try to start a tractor that had not been run in many years. I could smell the odor of bad gas in the tank so I drained it. There was about 5 gallons. I didn't want to just dump it somewhere so I put it into a tractor that I use on a regular basis to use it up.

I hate to brag about how foolish I was but I have never heard of this type of circumstance before.
