Should I get new fuel?

[Socomgod 420]

About 3 weeks ago I had purchased a warhead evo. after having several problems with the truck during break in I returned it. Now I have a revo 3.3

When I was having problems with the evo There wa about a 3-4 day period where I left the gallon of 20% nitro fuel in my back seat. It never got below freezing. Should I get rid of that fuel or is it ok?

Thanks in advance.

As long as it was capped it is probably fine. Where do you live? Asking for temps and was the car in the garage. The only thing that would be a concern would be that it went through big temp swings and that condensation built up and moisture got into the fuel. What brand are you using?

Its power master 20% nitro fuel. I live in dallas. And no the car was not in a garage.

The main thing I would be worried about would be getting water into the fuel. If you think that there might be water in there from condensation or from something else than your best bet would be to just get some new fuel. Better to spend 25 bucks on fuel than $150 or more on a new engine.

You're probably fine, temp swing aren't too bad there to where you'd have moisture build up inside the car from sitting over night.

The other key thing is, if the fuel was in direct sunlight - that can cause leaching of the nitro thru the bottle. That short of a period of time, it should be alright.
