[QUOTE="ccm, post: 358349, member: 13447"] Yep a vented tank with ethanol gas will go bad really quick. I had gas go bad in a week. You could actually see the phase separation. I drained the gas off the top & put it in the mower. My main problem with my motor ( 2011 4hp Tohatsu 4 stroke bought new in 2013 ) was the vented internal tank. I just couldn't keep the moisture out so this year I got everything I needed to hook up an external tank. The motor was fine all of last spring & summer but when fall came with the rain the ethanol drew the moisture right in. I run premium in it now with Stabil ( I always used Stabil ). With the motors fuel economy I can justify the higher cost of premium gas. [/QUOTE]
