How long is fuel/oil good for?
Hi i have had a 5 litre petrol can mixed with oil for around 2 months, is it still good to use? whats a max limit you would leave for before replacing?

typically at about the 3 month point it starts to degrade. make sure you shake it up really good, and give a quick smell to make sure its not smelling stale.
