Probably. If it is in a can, no light effects on the mixture will occur. It it is Power Master, it has a nice seal under the cap. So yes, it should be okay.

Cheers,

Chip

I'm presently flying with four-year old Sig Champion fuel from the plastic bottle in the cardboard box sitting on the shop floor.

This is the way I do it. My concrete floor, I think, adds some stability to the temperature and what stability there is - is on the cool side.

Sealed up in the box too to keep the light out

When I got out of RC for a few years I had some Omega and Ritch's brew that was literally 5 to 6 years old in unopened jugs when I restarted RC. I had no issues with the fuel. It flew fine. Unopened fuel is usually fine for years if stored properly.
