Default RE: Bad Fuel - how?

I had the same thing happen with a gallon of Morgan Coolpower 15%. I had it for about 2 months, 1/2 empty. Was trying to tune a new engine and it was just running like junk. Thought I had gotten a bum engine, so I sent it back. They checked it out and there was nothing wrong with it. In the meantime, i had taken one of my other tried and true engines out the field and it ran like junk too. i put 2 and 2 together and figured out it was the fuel. I dont know what happens. Maybe the bottle just wasnt sealed tightly? Maybe it was a bad mix right from the start and it was ok at first but deteriorated rapidly? Mysteries of RC......
