Fuel from Last Season?

[DoubleJ]

Is it generally ok to use fuel from last season? It's been stored in cool storage (sealed) all winter... I squeezed most of the air out of the jug before storing it so I'm thinking it should be ok...

What's everyone's take?

Thanks!

How fluid is it?

I've had fuel bcome more of a gel then a liquid on me. But that was a quart I had forgotten about and found it in the garage when cleaning.

cold storage == bad (throw it out)

If you would have kept it under youb bed like myself, it would have been good.
;D

Not cold as in the fridge... I just mean in my storage room in my apartment... Basically room temperature (by cool I meant not in the sun or hot).

It looks the same as the day I bought it...

the thing with fuel is it is better fresh. as it deteriorates after time. condesnation is inevitable and the "sweating" inside the jug is compensated by the fuel. tge alcohol/nitro content goes down to "absorb" the water.

is it worth using bad fuel to start off the season and waste glow plugs and possibly a rebuild for saving $15? Don't mess around, use the old fuel for cleaner and get some fresh stuff and enjoy playtime

I used fuel last summer that was atleast 2 yrs old . I kept it in my closet and had saran wrap under the lid . it fired up my engine right away .

Yes, but I am sure the nitro content dropped significantly over the time it was stored. Newer fuel will perform better.

For just kickin around, it should be fine. If your planning on racing, I would buy some new stuff.
