After filling my brand new Drake's gas tank in my 1935 Ford 5 Window coupe I broke an axle. I finally am putting every thing back together 1 1/2 YEARS later! What about the gas.....it has gotten a deep amber color in the glass bowel on the fuel pump (59AB motor). Do I drain the 18 month old gas out and put fresh gas in....if yes how do I get rid of the old gas? Or do I take 6-7 gallons out and fill up with fresh gas and when the time comes to refill I add the gas I took out and fill up again with fresh gas so I have a final dilution of 50% for the whole tank......or do I just drive it as it is? Is this even something to worry about? Thank-you,.....Matt in Alameda
