I left about 1/2 a gallon of 20% nitro open in my basement overnight (I was in a hurry to get out of the house, filled my squeeze bottle and forgot to cap the gallon).... Is there a chance it will still be OK? I haven't tried any of it yet....

Should be fine.

Yeah, it's fine. Nitro isn't that sensitive. Now if it was open for a week+, maybe...

I've had bottles of nitro sit on concrete for up to 2 months (everyone says it's bad because the water in the concrete will absorb into the bottle), but I ran the stuff just fine.

I believe the fuel on concrete thing has more to do with condensation . Concrete floor is the coldest spot , while the bottom of the bottle is on the concrete floor and rest of the bottle is in the ambient temperature , the two different temps will create condensation in the bottle . Not really absorbing the moisture out of the concrete as once concrete has cured there is no more moisture in it . This seems to happen more easily with metal containers which is why most use plastic .

Thanks!

Yeah overnight is no big deal, at most some of the alcohol would have evaporated. I'm sure you'll be fine.

you would have more like 25% fuel, but even when sitting in the bottle some seperates
