Hi. does anyone know how long you can keep rc fuel till it starts going bad??

ehroof

about a year, if kept out of the sun and extreme temprature change

Store it in a cool dry place. Try to keep it from contact with air. The methenol will evaporate out of the fuel and change the mix. Moisture may also get in. Unopened bottles stored out of direct sun and at a constant temp may stay good for quite awhile. Hey Ehroof how long can/ does the hobbyshop by you store their fuel? I just thought about that. My LHS has a ton of different fuels but I see no sell or use by date. HHMMM?? I'll hafta ask... I know the O Donnels fresh cause they always sell out and get new once every 2 weeks.LOL

my lhs is a busy place and usually get a delivery every 2 weeks or so, i dont think its on their shelf long. i think the fuel could last at least a year maybe more. i would suggest buying 20% since that is the most used in nitro cars.

I've had a gallon of 30% white lightning that I ran one tank from about a year ago for about a year and a half. I'm gonna give it a shot this weekend and see if it does anything

If you keep it in a cool dry place (like CU and ehroof said) and use the plug that came in the top, it should keep just fine.

while we are at it, waht do you think of powermaster 20% or 30% nitro fuel?
