IF it hasnt been opened it should be fine. But once fuel is opened then air gets to it and puts it out of balance ( i think ) and then can only be kept for a certain amount of time before it goes stale.

Just to be safe i wouldnt. Also you shouldnt really leave fuel in your tank because the ingredients attract moisture molecules and they will corrode the insode of your engine. But i do anyway and i use old fuel to
