[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 4266595, member: 15054"] Gas can get stinky and sometimes it is fine and other times it makes a mess in a fuel tank. My 47 dodge sat for 4 years with 7-11 brand 91 octane gas in it. No issues at all, no rust. Friends Ford Taurus using OnCue 100% gas sat for the same amount of time and that gas created stalactites that were red in color like rust. It was not rust but some kind of something created by evaporating fuel. Had to wipe the entire tank clean with rags. Then there is the stuff that sat for a very long time and became more like syrup and left a honey coating in the tank some of those cleaned up and some that cleaned up ended up with a bunch of small pin holes in the tank. Did not leak until all the stuff was cleaned out. I do know this though for all my daily drivers I will not put good gas in dirty tank. Power wash and lots of scrubbing. Or a new tank. [/QUOTE]
