fuel shelf life

[SumoDethRat]

How long does fuel last for? I got side tracked and wasn't able to run my savage for almost 6 months. The bottle has about half a gallon in it with most of the air squeezed out and stored in a cool dry place out of sunlight.

it should be fine. I've ran year-old nitro and it ran just fine.

Cool, thanks for the quick response. I hate going out and having everything ready to go only to have it not start because I overlooked something.

Yup, should be just fine! I've run fuel that was close to 2 years old before, no problems!

I've ran 5 year old fuel before with no problems at all. Just store it in a cool dry dark place off concrete (on wood is preferrable), and it'll keep for a long time.

As long as it doesn't really get water in it (you can tell by the condensation that would build up on top) you should be fine for a very long time.

I heard that you can run it even when it gets water in it...it just runs like crap.
