What is average shelf life of nito fuel;assuming it has been stored properly?
 
it all depends on how it was stored, I've had fuel in my dark cool basement for 3 years and it was good, I've had fuel for less than a month that went bad because the cap didn't seal properly, id say if it was sealed right and was stored in a cool place out of the sun/heat it could be good for awhile. id get fresh fuel and use the old fuel, if it doesn't run or its hard to tune, or rig seems to be running rich and you lean it out and it dies then its bad fuel
 
I have a brand new jug of fuel at work,but i'm playing hooky today.Maybe i'll try a tank of the stuff i have here.It is only a year old
 
yea id at least try it, the fuel wouldn't hurt your car it just wouldn't run that great if it was bad or not at all, and with the prices of fuel id give it a try, only a year old it will be good
 
Test fuel: 7 years old, still runs well. No special precautions when storing, just a tight lid and kept out of direct sunlight.

I run a couple tanks of it each year to test. It will be a few more years before it is gone.

Notice the price, and born on date.
