Default When is Gas bad???

After how long should I be worried about replacing stored gas? I've been working on my crx for the past 8 months and It's come time to upgrade the fuel pump and do the inital start up. Should I be worried about water seperation?

Thanks guys,

It depends on where the gas was stored.. In your gas tank out in the sun 24/7 for 8 months? If that's the case, I'd say change it..
