It will still work ok it just might not be the freshest for your engine. I would just get a new bottle and rid of the old stuff in an environmentally correct fashion (meaning don't just dump it out).

If it has been kept tightly closed and kept out of direct sunlight it should be o.k.

I have used part of a jug of fuel one season, then not flown until the next season and had no problems. (I have also had some that went bad in only a month or two.)

Basically, try it, and if it performs o.k. use it, if not replace it.
