What happens to gasoline as it get old, I have been told by a couple of people that it loses octane the older it gets. These same people told me that gas go bad in 6 months and is no good. This morning I had to move my 67 F250, it has been sitting since Oct of 2003 and it fired right up and ran fine. The gas smelled bad but it run ok. So if gas loses all of its octane then why did my truck fire up and run? I am just wondering what really happens to gas as it ages.
BTW I ran the truck until it empied the gas tank, I figured I would burn all the old crap up and put fresh stuff in it tommorrow.
