Old gas and old carborated v8's can eat pretty nasty fuel.
My grandpa had a '56 Bel Air convertible with a 327 small journal in it. The fuel in the tank was over a decade old, it brought up chunks of rust, was rust coloured and after replacing the inlet filter on the quadrajet, started right up and idled perfect.
Try that with a fuel injected engine and see what happens.
