Watching a segment up on YouTube
Bunch of characters doing
Will it run
They drag in old cars to see if they can get them running again
Well
One fellow started work on a 1965 rambler rebel convertible
Car had been parked since 70/71
Original owner died. His son got it and promptly garaged it. Never to be driven again
So
After the YouTube guy had done all his checks. Electric. Oil. Spark. Etc.
he noticed the gas tank was full on the gage
And he commented. That gas had been sealed in the tank since it was parked and he was curious if the gas was good
He put two filters on the gas line Primed the carb.
And it fired up and ran
On the old leafed non ethanol gas
It ran ruff and it smoked like crazy
But it ran on 50 year old gas.
So. If this situation was true as presented
It’s proof that the powers that be are doctoring gas today to prevent our ability to store it
Yeah. I know that ethanol additives will make the gas short lived
And. I’ve heard lots of mechanics saying the gas won’t last long which we all know
And even with stabil in the gas it’s not much use after a year
Just an intresting thing to consider
Nothing else
