Subject:Re: What should I do about a tank of old gas

I though that with the 76 BMW I'm working on. I topped the tank with new gas
and it still would not run after draining the carbs.

The gas smells like gas but won't even burn with an open flame!

Thanks,

Go with 50/50 mix of fresh gas/old gas and it'll run fine.
