RE: nitro fuel
Nitro has a relatively short shelf life, and starts to degrade in a matter of months. It won't hurt anything, but probably won't run well, make you pull your hair out trying to dial it in. Just buy new and use the old stuff as lighter fluid

RE: nitro fuel
I don't think it's a good idea to use the old fuel. it will definitely put some deadly effects on an engine`s performance. Old fuel will go bad. Really old fuel will turn into "varnish". This varnish will coat the inside of your carburetor and fuel lines. It can also coat the inside of your fuel tank. agree with Sixtysixdeuce that now you can use it as a lighter fluid.
