I was recently stripping down a parts van that has been sitting for at
least 6 years.  To my surprise, it had about 6 gallons of gas.  I slowly
filled a one gallon container, first topping off the generator tank and
then beginning to put it into the Syncro.  Must have put at least 4
gallons into the van, which made it have about 12-13 gallons.  I sensed
no problems with operations before needing the next fillup.  The old gas
was about 1/3 of what was in the Syncro's tank.  It must have needed to
be a higher % to cause any trouble.
