Shelf life of Nitro Fuel
#16
Really, that's over $200 worth of fuel. Try it in something before you throw it out. I gave the local rc club 6 gallons of 60% boat fuel that was 15 years old, stored like yours was in a dark basement, and they ran it. It ran fine. A couple guys had 1/8 hydros and that much free fuel was a godsend. You'll know more and can make a better decision after the run test. Like Mark said maybe not in your best engine but try it before throwing it out.
I had 10 year old fuel stored that was still good.I like hydros, they're just not popular on the east coast. I noticed it seems to be a west / northwest thing.

I started racing 1/8 gas in the late 70's, early 80's. Then I had kids, but started racing 1/10 gas about 20 years ago which is where the gas came from. Took another 20 years off, now just racing 1/10 electric.
