Default RE: 2 year old fuel with hole in cap ?

<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS"><span style="font-size: medium">so what if the fuel is maybe just a couple of years old but kept sealed with no holes or sunlight, but left to sit on the ground? a guy i used to fly with told me a couple of years ago, that if you left the fuel sitting on the ground, it would ruin it. kind of like with car batteries on the concrete. now I know, there's no "battery" properties with the fuel, but it has been sitting on the ground in my nice cold, dark garage for a couple of years. is that some cornball jazz or what? and yes, i also make up my own words and phrases. i think it's wildcat 10%. it still smells really strong and burns really bad in the nostrils. someone told me that...i used a tank of it for an engine run and it seemed okay, but that doesn't put a true load on the motor as if it were pulling a plane through the blue. or would it be more of a load since it's stationary? that sounds more correct. i don't know...</span></span>
