I came across an old bottle of fuel that's been sitting around for almost a year. It's traxxas top fuel 20%. There's about a tank and a half to two tanks left. Is this cool to use? Not too sure about this. It's been sealed and stored in a safe place. Just wondering if I can burn this through my truck or just dispose of it? Thanx. Kev.
 
I wouldn't if I were you If its been sittin that long. I had some old fuel that had been sittin for bout that long thought I'd do the same thing turns out the stuff wouldnt even ignite flooded my engine bad. Then it took three tanks of fresh fuel before it would run right again. I'd use the old fuel for something else I hear it makes a good cleaner.

Well, I used it. Had a great bashing session. It fired right up, an burned real good. Burned the last two tanks of it. It was running a little "boggy" at first but a few high speed euns, and it ran great. Now comes the fun after run/clean up part. Thanx for the responses man. Appreciate that.
 
if it wasn't in the sunlight i would dump it in and fire it up. if it doesn't run good mix it 50% with good fuel. i just used some fuel that sat for 4 mo in the sun tight. no trouble.

I ran the 2 tanks I had today through it. Ran pretty good, little "boggy" when I nailed the throttle. Overall, I was impressed. Bashed her pretty hard!!!;)
