    Yep, I'm talking about dingy gas. Not taco bell induced bad gas.

    We were out cruising in our dingy today, after it was sitting on the davits
    for the past month, when the engine coughed, spit and died. Of course we were
    10 miles from home, against the current and downwind of the marina.

    So the question here is, the gas in the tank was 1/2 empty (or for you more
    optimistic ones, 1/2 full) and it appeared the gas went bad. We tired
    everything, checked the filter, the plug, hoses etc. The spare tank had a
    small amount of gas left and we were able to get somewhat close to home using
    that. Rich rowed the rest of the distance.

    So what makes a formally good tank of gas go bad?
