Stupid question: how can you tell if gasoline is going bad?

we have a ford truck that has two tanks. we don’t use truck often and it is running poorly. could this be due to gas gone bad. would adding Sta-Bil help?

I can tell when gas is bad by the smell...it smells bad.

Don't use it if you suspect it...it'll clog up you fuel injectors, big time.

Check out PRI. Google around because there are many who claim using greater concentrations will recover bad fuel. The other item you may want to look at is E-ZORB. The combination may help if you have no option but to run the truck.

Might want to check their website for advice on gas stored in vehicle tanks. Best not to use Sta Bil if you can get around that. Down with computer problems so am limited in what I can do now.
