When in doubt, change it. You should never leave left over fuel in the tank for an extended period of time. SO yes, try fresh fuel.

absolutely. i wouldnt run fuel that was exposed to air for even a few hours. thats enough time to throw my tune off a bit, and when racing thats the last thing you need.

methanol absorbs moisture from the air, not good.
