How Long Will Race Fuel Stay Fresh??

I have 10 gallons of Sunoco 100 octane unleaded race fuel...I had bought it back in Oct to use at the last track event this year but it was rained out.....how long will the fuel stay fresh?...will Sta-Bil be OK for race fuel???

 

It should last just as long as any other unleaded gas.

 

From what I have read in the past gasoline should be used within 30 days or add StaBil to extend it's life..didnt know if race fuel is formulated different??..

 

Turns into a much higher grade of varnish

 

LOl.. Thats funny. Im sure it would be good for a couple months.let us know how long before it turns to varnish.Good luck Tony..

 

A Sunoco gas truck driver recommended shaking it up a little if it has been sitting awhile. Don't know if he knew anything but can't hurt

 

Who is Tony?

 

Put some in your lawn mower and test it...better yet, give Sunoco a call and ask them.

 

If it goes bad you should be able to smell it....bad gas smells nasty.

 

I went ahead and dumped it into the truck.....thanks Lucy...:grin:

Yes, bad gas does smell terrible....my father in law had a 71 Lincoln in his garage that had not been moved in over 10 years....when he passed way I worked on it to start it...first thing I did was dump the gas out of the tank into a gravel lot...the smell would stifle you for over a week...

 

I had 10 gallons of Sunoco 100 in the garage all last winter, I called and they said don't add anything to it, just keep it sealed up and out of light.

It seemed fine in the spring no varnish just clear and smelled the same like it did in Nov.

 

Inside joke,between Larry and I.
