Default burn it or dump it

My 89 lx 5.0 has sat now for 4.5 mounths and will continue to sit gararaged for another 4 or 5 mounts. I filled the tank so no water will develop. I am going to take it out next week. Should I make it a priority to burn the **** fuel. How long does fuel last and is it a big deal to burn **** fuel??

Well you would have been better off if you added fuel stabilizer to the tank at the beginning of storage.. if you're still gonna store it a bunch more months then stick some in now.

The gas in the tank should still be OK to run the car with after it's out of storage. But don't go racing the car with that same gas right away,, wait unil you've refilled with new gas.
