Another motoring myth.
If you throw a match at it and it burns, it ain't "stale".

Another motoring myth, it's pointless to change the oil in your bike, it's still slippery when its dirty.
Your tyres are safer when all the treads worn off as it will achieve a better grip.

Case in point:
1977 RM125B. Sitting for 6 years with pre-mix in its tank. Last year it took three kicks to start it.
I guess it was stale.
Ahhh..actually
"If petrol is not stored in an air tight container then the process of oxidation occurs. Fuel that has been exposed to air flow will begin to look cloudy and get darker in colour. Sometimes you may even be able to see particles floating in the fuel if it is badly oxidised.
Once the fuel is in this state it is dangerous to add it to an engine as the fuel will form deposits in the fuel system. Fuel stored in a vehicle is not air tight – particularly in motorcycles and therefore these deposits can build up and affect the proper working of the engine".
...not so much of a myth huh
(note...they say if stored properly in air tight containers and at the correct temp and out of sunlight etc etc...5yrs! storage is possible with no oxidation)
...I would like to thank google for once again making me look far smarter than I actual is
When Life thows me a curve
...I lean into it!
Mate bought an old Ducati recently, had fuel but would not start, took fuel out, it was very dark red, added new fuel and bike started and ran.
Probably ok for lawnmower or RM 125
DeMyer's Laws - an argument that consists primarily of rambling quotes isn't worth bothering with.
If the fuel is old, and you think its stale....just add some water....
Opinions are like arseholes: Everybody has got one, but that doesn't mean you got to air it in public all the time....
Use that shit to boil ya kiff down into oil, then sell it to dumb fucks who dont know good drugs from bad. Win.
For a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him. Keep an open mind, just dont let your brains fall out.
It most likely was stale. That doesn't mean it will not start. But it would be shitting up your carbs and prob down a smidge on performance. You have a lot learn. Coming on a forum and announcing something as fact is always going to be treated with derision. Get used to it.
