[FC] fuel issues

[Vairtec Corporation]

Tim, if the Rampside starts and runs, just add some fresh fuel and drive 
on.  Come this Fall, if you plan to store the Rampside (or the 
lawnmower), add Sta-Bil ethanol formula to the fuel and run it so that 
treated fuel gets into the carbs.

He cleaned it and put fresh gas in and now she runs fine. He recommended that I throw away any gas back home in my gas can, that there was enough alcohol in gasoline today that it pulls water from the air into standing fuel. Of course there sits Rampy with probably 10 gallons of old gas from last fall in her tank. What (if any) fuel additive is everyone using for this issue?Tim W '61 Rampy 140 4 speed.
