I've done the exact same thing you are contemplating. Old watery boat fuel used in a lawn mower. My lawn mower lasted about 3/4 of a tank and died, you guessed it, plugged up with water gooo. Don't bother trying to "thin" it as this just prolongs the agony of gooo. Dispose of the bad gas appropriately, no further recommendations on that subject. Something else to consider, gasoline produced today does not have the same storage life as gasoline produced 5 years ago. Fuel stabilisers work fine for short periods of time, (in my experience less than 3 months). Environmental conditions play a major roll in the stability of fuel stored in containers. For instance humidity, tank subject to evening dew and rain. I now dispose of my unused baot fuel after a day of frolicking on the water by simply pouring it into may truck, burns just fine. Don't forget to drain the fuel lines, filter and carb bowls of fuel, if not you will most likely end up at square one. Why save that tank of fuel for several months when you can burn it safely in your car and not create yourself problems? Good luck.
