Default Nitro Question

I have two gallons of nitro in my garage that I want to use but one of them has little droplets of water at the top of it. Is there a way of getting rid of this water so I can use the fuel?

It's evaporated methanol I believe, not water. Don't worry about it. How long has it been sitting?

Thanks for the fast reply. It's only been sitting there for about 2 months. I've been storing it in a cool, dark place also.

Should be fine. Only one way to find out, don't worry, you won't ruin anything by running old fuel, even if it's gone off, you just won't be able to get the thing to start, or it will run very poorly.
