My uncle gave me a 85 GMC HighSeirra 1/2 ton 4x4 a couple months ago. He baught it new off the showroom floor and parked it in his driveway one day in 1995 where it sat for 15 years.

I trailer the truck to my buddy's shop, drank some beers and put a new battery in it, primed the carb and the truck started, ran, idled and responded to throttle on 15 year old gasoline.

none of us beleived it.

Has anyone else experienced this?
