Glow fuel
 
I've been thinking of buying fuel on a bulk buy but I have to buy 6 cases. I figure that will last me a year to a year and a half. Will the fuel still be ok for that long? I realize there is no guarantee the stuff I get at the LHS isn't that old but I wanted to know. It's CP 30% heli fuel.
Thanks
Don

The fuel will be OK but you MUST check the can bottoms
to see if there is any rust starting....
If there is, be whare as they may NOT last...

If you see rust you got other issues, but it'll be fine. I'm running some 4 year old 30%cp now.

Are you saying that the cans may not last? As in they may spring a leak?

YES, if rust is starting it will leak in time..
How long, who knows...
Our club purchased by Bulk Fuel (6 cases) and found out why
we got a deal...
We did use all of it but we learned to be cautious

I have a couple cans of powermaster that has some surface rust. Looks like I need to transfer it to the plastic jugs as I empty those. Thanks.

Thanks guys. Cool Power fuel comes in plastic jugs. At least any that I have purchased. I think I may go ahead and order it.

I think as long as it is sealed and out of direct sun light it will last a very long time.
