Look at the light aviation business. Most piston aircraft run 100LL fuel. I have not found an FAA industry standard that says when the fuel is no good. Rules require to purge the tank for water but a plane that has not been flown for a year can go fly with the old gas no problem. LL stand for low lead

Its just 55 gal burn it up and get rid of it then nothing more to worry about !!!
