The gas of the past was definitly different.
I just got done resurecting a JD B that a fellow drove it in the barn in the early 70's and it sat there untouched until this year ! I was surprized that while the gas tank still had 2 or 3 gals. still left in it I was able to drain it out didn't smell too bad and tank only had a real light coating of whiteish varnish ? around in it.Same with the carb. I was expecting a real mess in there,but I drained gas out of it and only had slight varnish coating that cleaned up real good in the carb. dip.

That's in comparison to a rototiller engine a lady told me she used every year only in the spring.I worked on it one year it wouldn't start and the carb. was a mess even had green corrosion that had eaten a hole in the brass float.That was alot of damage for only one year ?
