Default 408 startup, any problem using gas from last August?

Car broke down last august with 3/4 tank of premium. Now I am going to start up my new 408. Ok to use the old gas? Or is it a must to siphon old and get new?

Thanks

With a new 408, I'd be **** and pull out the 10 gallons....~$35....probably could use it without any problems.

funny thing, though i hasn't been this long, im starting up the motor after a few months of parts install and other gliches...

I sont hink that i might be in any trouble but from august, that is almost a year. Well, i did get a siphonin' tool from a auto parts store, that could help, though my tank is almost full and i might be there for a while.

If you want to becarful, and i know this isn't what you wanted to hear, just siphon her out and start fresh.

Whats the worst that will happen? Poor idle/running until new gas is put in? It wont clog injectors or anything will it?
