Gas goes bad after about 3-6 months and I'm going on 5 months now. Let me know what else it could be or if the gas could cause it and what I might have to do about that. Is SYPHONING possible in these cars?

Fuel from October should be fine. I store cars every winter for 4+ months, going on many years, along with many friends. Plus many project cars sit longer than that while people rebuild the engines etc. Having been around cars full time for 20 years, me personally, I have not yet seen anyone need to drain their tank due to the fuel going bad while the car was stored. Not saying it cant happen, but I have never heard of it in real life.
