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.
