tony Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Never realy thought about it. I fill my son's 10 litre can up on Saturday morning and its empty by Sunday night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trial_master Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 My dad, an ex-petrol tanker driver recons it would last for a very long time (months, maby years) without deteriorating. The gas build up is just evaporation and not like fizzy pop where it looses its fizz, if you get what i mean If you also premix your oil, be sure to give it a good shake again if it has been stood for a while Hope this helps Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliechitlins Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 Definitely not years. Old gas has a weird smell that, I imagine, indicates that it has changed. Gas does keep longer in an airtight metal can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downunder Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Charlie I agree you can tell by the smell when your fuel can isn't well! Maybe a few good long sniffs of a fresh mix might make me ride better..... what do you think???? I think fuel keeps ok for at least six months but only if the lid is on tight. After that pour it into the wife's car.... she'll never tell the difference and at least it will give the motor some lubrication when she roars off on a cold engine Downunder www.mototrials.com.au Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
