I was getting the snow blower ready for winter and when I went to fill
the tank noticed the gas in the can was cloudy. The gas was purchased
around the beginning of Oct and stored with a tight lid so I cant
imagine it has gone bad...or has it???? Is it ok to use?


In order to use up this old gas:
1. filter it (through felt or chamois leather);
2. use it in your car. (The car's fuel filter guarantees it will
burn OK: Most snow blowers have no fuel filter.)


I think I'd use it to kill grass, start fires, or clean brushes.

Dump it in my car? Not on *your* life.

If I was going to trust a filter [which I wouldn't] - I'd put one on
the snowblower. [I have one on mine, but still wouldn't put
questionable gas in it.]
