JohnA Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 It depends on how well sealed the container is. Away from heat and light and sealed very well (a *full* jerry can for example) it can live for a few months, although the volatile elements will still separate and the octane number will be significantly lowered. Best is to empty it in a half-full tank and add more fresh fuel on top so that it mixes well. I usually have high octane fuel in sealed cans for 6-12months sitting in the shed, and if used undiluted it is detonation galore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
