We run into this a lot at the boat dealership that I help out at. Boats get stored for 3, 4 years when the owner loses interest in it and the new owner can't get them to start or run.
If it smells really bad and cloudy to the point you can't see through it, throw it out. If it's still somewhat clear, we mix it with fresh gas and burn it in our shop tractor.
We had one boat where the gas was so old, it wouldn't even burn when we put a flame to it. Wasn't water either.
