I have an old mower,1990ish. That was a few years ago and it's still running... Obviously the quality of 'old gas' will vary. (The quality of new gas ain't always great). I started mixing a little in and it didn't kill it. When I got about half and still OK, I decided not to push it any further.
 
What are the "new ones that look crappy". I think somebody is talkin outta their *** there because Spectra makes some damn nice tanks.
 
Follow post #11. When your mind start to drift in any other direction, reread post#11. Run a complete new fuel system, from the gas cap to the downleg booster.
 
Slant would probably still burn that kerosene at 7.5:1. But a lawnmower is about all its good for and that is a stretch. My finnicky lawnmower wont even start unless its drained before I put it up and then it gets fresh gas out of a screw top fuel can. This new **** doesnt last long in the tank before it starts to turn to jello in the carb jet. It may be a good thing that the tank was almost full as it wont rust where its submerged.
