I have a 5 gallon can of gas from 8 months ago. I did far less yard work than I intended. I have fuel additives I could use. Joogle says 3-6 months, but I am looking for "real world" answers.

Please only answer if you know what you are talking about, and remember, I already used the internet to try to find my own answers.

Edited: Fuel is 89 Octane with UP TO 10% ethanol added.

It wasn’t the stabilizer, it was moisture that was absorbed into the ethanol and the gas varnished. Stabilizer extends the life, but won’t completely prevent gas from varnishing. I guess if you used Chinese or Mexican made dollar store stabilizer it could’ve been the issue....

It’s always the sludge that fucks up the needle.
