I've got a 1979 Datsun 280ZX stored inside an old barn - and I can't get the gas drained out of it. I've tried - and I can't find an easy way to do it. I keep thinking that one of these years I'll put plates on it, drive it, and THEN get some new gas into it. So, the gas in the tank is now 6 years old. I starting the engine twice a year and keep on thinking one of these times - it won't run. But so far, it's fine. I put two doses of Stabil in it - as I said - the gas is 6 years old. In regard to the six month thing?? I've got a bunch of winter cars I take off the road every April or May. They get parked in the field and don't get started again until at least November. I don't put Stabil - or anything else into them and have never had a problem with gas going bad. Different blends of gasoline have different life-spans. Also, air-tight fuel tanks make the gas last a lot longer. I suspect temerpature plays a part too. I've got many pieces of gasoline powered equipment with untreated gas that often sits for two years and still work fine. But, if I know something is going to be stored, I add Stabil. At the last engine show I went to - I pulled a tractor out of my barn that had 3 year old gas still in it. It was never treated and I should of drained it. But, I have over 100 tractors, so it's hard to keep up sometimes. The gas was starting to smell like it was turning, but the tractor started right up and ran fine.

Today's Featured Article - The Fordson F Ignition System - by Anthony West. A fellow restorer contacted me earlier this year asking for some help and advice on a model F that he was restoring. He had over a period of months spent a fair amount of his hard earned cash on replacement parts for the old "trembler" ignition. Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
