If you've had the can off of a concrete floor and in an area that didn't have a wild temperature change, you'll be OK.... provided the cap is on tight.

If you think you've got condensation in the fuel from poor storage, it would be in your best interest to filter the water out. Some guys, including myself use a 'Mr. Funnel' filter to get to the good fuel.

... the same goes for straight kerosene too.

If you think it is too old, send it to me for disposal.

No charge.

I got ahold of some last year that even had some water in it. Poured it thru a fine strainer and then pumped it thru a water removal filter and it worked great.
