One thing you DON'T want to do is use stale gas in ANY internal combustion engine,PERIOD!! First of all it will set up in the carburetor and cause problems.Second of all and i seen it happen in a friends truck.He used stale gas in it and within a week or so he lost compression in most of the cylinders.Cause was the stale gas got on intake valve stems and stuck them open,Some seized up and bent the pushrods.This was on a 460 ford engine....I'd find a proper way to dispose of it(EPA APPROVED)
