Hi Gary,
I just had the same problem with my new (old) Charger.  I just added 5
gallons so I could get it to the gas station then filled it up and drove
it.  
Note: I changed the fuel filter after I burned off the new tank of gas.
The filter seemed pretty clogged, but I don't know if it was before I
ran the gas through it.

The car is running fine now.

Regards,
Ken

Subject: Stale gas

There's about 4 or 5 gallons of stale gas in a Mopar that has sat for a 
about a year and a half. Stabil was put in the gas back then to help 
preserve it somewhat.

The gas still is liquid and will burn, but has that yellowish old fuel 
look (not clear) and smells a little bit off correct.

Should we:

* just run the old gas

* add a few gallons of new fuel to the gas tank to dilute the mixture 
and then run the car to burn the mixture off

*pull the gas tank and drain the old stuff? 

Or?

Thoughts appreciated.

Thanks,
Gary H.
