What about the 4 gallons of premix I still have in my race jug? Think its still good to go this spring? Been in there since October.

If you keep your fuel in metal containers so the combustible chemicals don't evaporate, plastic containers are porous and the fuel loses its volatile compounds.

Yeah I'd say the pre mixed fuel in a jug, probly not good, I know the oil over time will cause a problem an them jugs are bad, B n that they let light in

Plastic 1 week in a light spot. In a dark cold corner 1 month. Metal 5 galon can never opened @ 1 years. or so I been told by fuel people but who knows how long its been sitting between the refinery and sale. I mix anything that's been around longer than that 50/50 with fresh
