Pump it out and burn in in your car a little at a time...Trust me

how many gallons did you have left over?

Stiffy, I had half a tank in the boat from August till early nov. I topped off the tank, used eveinrude stabilizer. I have been running that gas , and so far no problems. Most of this gas is 6months -9months old.....:smash:

Unless water leaked into your tank over the winter you will be fine. That's easy enough to check, just pump some out through your fuel hose and check your f/w separator.

FWIW, though most of my close fishing buds and I always store our tanks empty, the few that do not have not had any problems.

Good luck.

As long as you put the recommended amount of atbilizer in it in the fall it should be O.K.

If you have any major concerns, the boat stores carry a product called Start-Up or something like that which makes any collected moisure a burnable product in the tank.
