How long does Stabilized fule last?

[Tommytuttle]

I am looking at buying a boat which has sat for 4years. It has a built in tank, the fuel has been sitting for 4years with fuel stablizer added when stored.<br /><br />What should I do with this?<br />Pump it out? And then What?<br /><br />Or is it safe to run?<br /><br />Thank you for your help.

I wouldn't count on the fuel being good for much over a year. This is what the stabilizer people claim and thats if you start with fresh gas. I think you'll save yourself a lot of headaches if you get rid of this gas and start fresh.
