Lets say I have a half tank (10 gallons or so) of crappy low octane gas in my tank the previous owner put in that makes my 1970 455 run like $hit and diesel when turned off. I know draining it is one answer but I already have too much older gas laying around for my lawnmower/snowblowers. Would some CAM 2 or equivalent added to it "refurbish" it? Or should I go buy more gas containers and drain. I can't seem to give this stuff away and I just don't like the idea of 20-30 gallons of gas around the garage with kids, pets. Also, is dieseling bad for the engine? This thing will go for 30 seconds. Bad carbon build up I'm sure.
