I have Sig 10% fuel I bought in the summer of 2002 and am getting back into flying and was wondering if anyone can tell me if this fuel is still good to use two years later. Also what is some of your opinions of this fuel? Thanks for your replies in advance.

I have not used Sig fuel. They have a good rep so I'm sure it's good fuel.

The age of it would not bother me as long as it was sealed up. If not it will absorb moisture and be bad.

If has been sealed, kept cool and out of the sun light, you should be OK.

Try running a tank thru the engine on the ground; if you have no problems, USE IT!

I was able to use a Sig 25% fuel after a year or two of storage. It was stored in my closet with its original plastic bottle, though it had changed its color to a little orangeish. Ran fine.

If you lived near me I'd take it off your hands and test it for you! Might be half a gallon gone by the time I was done "testing" it for you!

I had a gallon of 10% stored in my garage for 6 years, tightly sealed and out of the light. I just finished it off today, no problems.

I just burned through 2 gallons of Omega that was about 10 years old with no problem. The guy I bought it from kept it in his cellar.

Got ya all beat. I had a jug of Byron 10% that was 20 years old. Engine fired up on third try. Ran just fine at high throttle but idle was a little iffy. LHS said to just blend in some new stuff to get the nitro back up and that worked out just fine. I now have 6L's of about 9% nitro and I fly it all the time. Kept in dark cool garage though.

I had nearly a full gallon of Morgan Fuel 15% that sat in my "hangar" (spare bedroom) for about 8 months still hooked up to the hand crank pump. Almost finished it off now in a OS 40LA. No probs.

BTW, SIG is one of the most honest fuel sellers. Some of the mixers add oil and nitro by weight, not volumn. So if they say 18% oil, it's really more like 15 or 16% by volumn and risky to use. SIG 20% oil fuel is really 20% oil. I have settled on SIG and rarely use anything else.
