Default RE: Old fuel, split it or chuck it?

if its been sitting around with a hole in the cap the menthanol is probably saturated with water
Only if stored under its flast point of 51 degrees F. The fuel will not asorb water when it is evaporating. It will be at a very slight positive pressure with vapors slowly pourning out the hole. Besides your engine will tolerate a lot of water, and you will be adding fresh methanol to the mix.
