Any car with an intact evaporation control system (unvented tank and charcoal
canister) will keep the gas fresh for 5 months. Heck, I've started a TR6 on
three your old gas. The battery was dead and the carbs leaked like sprinklers
but it ran fine. If you are storing a TR3 for 5 months I'd consider stabil
or something like that but I store my mower for about that long with no
problems.
