If you think its back get a hose and siphon it out if you can or siphon a little out and see if it lights. Be smart and dont drink it or try to light the gas on fire with your nose next to it.
If you can siphon it out then do that IF you cant the go buy some fuel stabilizer. But most gas is good unless it has sat for a year or more and been subjected to MAJOR weather extremes
