gasoline is not like fine wine. I would not use it. My boat had been like yours, but it sat 14 years. The tank was monel so I did not want to junk it. It had 1/4 inch maple syrup in the bottom. I got it clean with high powered carb cleaner but that is a worse disposal problem than gas. Our land fill will take it, they have a good disposal system. Smell the gas, you can tell bad fuel. I would also put on a good filter with water separator. This and the distributor is the biggest headache on the A-4. The distributor is easy to fix at sea but not a plugged carb. Good luck, Will
