I had forgotten how long the fuel had been in the tank (since December). I
find the premium keeps its kick a lot longer than the lower octane unleaded.
The ignitor engines seem to be a lot more sensitive to stale fuel than the
spark plug engines. The big Buzacott and the Challenge will start on fuel
that has been sitting in their tanks for months and months while the Stover
(obviously) and the R&Vs like fresh fuel to start. The 12hp R&V will happily
run on fuel that has been sitting in its big base tank for ages but it will
only start on fresh fuel.
This is Australia Peter. Beer never stays around long enough to get stale!

Secret there Patrick is with unleaded crap petrol (gas) ONLY use fresh 
stuff, a week or two in the tin and it is useless on low compression 
engines.
>From one who has the crank scars to prove it, like many others, nothing 
worse than cranking an engine and cranking cranking cranking cranking 
&*#%@#% just because of stale fuel. Nearly as bad and drinking stale beer
