Fuel shelf life?
How long would fuel last if left unopened? I still have a gallon of Trinity Monster fuel from about 10 months ago and it's never been opened. Is it still as good as the day I bought it off the shelf?
Thanks,

Nah, just stored in my garage. I actually forgot I had it until I found it the other day. I'm about due for some and not sure if I should use it or not. I wouldn't want to damage my motor by using "old" fuel, if that is even a real concern.

Well, the worste that I think could happen is that your methanol sucked in alot of moisture while it say, and you run it through your engine. I think the seal would have helped prevent this though.
