When does gasoline get old?

[Bob]

2 extremes but: (and one normal one) :)

-Found a 69 Boss 302 in a barn, bought it in 93. The tag expired in '70! It was pure varnish and
almost anything fuel related was replaced...
-My spider was in storage for 5 years.. when I took it out, only the fuel tank needed to be drained
and cleaned. Everything else was ok (Carbureted)
-My snowmobiles usually go cruddy from the last time I use it in march to the first time the next
year which is about nov/dec. Even with stabil it gets a little green and I have to rebuild the carbs
every damn year.

Conditions seem to have a lot to do with it.
