Perhaps I run better/better maintained engines, but I have never had a
problem with old fuel. My tractor sits with fuel in it all winter and
always starts first turn of the key.

I believe the problem may be with fuel (petrol) with a higher ethanol
content which can "pull" water out of the atmosphere.
I have previously had problems with the water content in a plastic can
of fuel kept outside for a year
