That time of year again...
Small containrs huh?
So I have a 2 gallon can for 2 stroke lawn care tools.
I do not mix any fresh 2 stroke. I fill this from the jetskis at the end of the riding season. This means the fuel in my small container is from August of 2020. I have been running my chainsaw and wife running the weedwhacker last few weekends. One year old plus gas. Fuel does not smell funky. Tools are running perfect.
This is first hand info.
Ps: can ran out last weekend, time to drain the boats and refill. This fuel is now 3 months old. Standard e10 pump shit.
Funny, I run 91 octane in my yard equipment (1 & 2 cyl) and you can tell the difference if/when any form of fuel treatment's used in the fuel. Call it snake oil, if you wish, but StaBil & Seafoam seem to make things run smoother & everything always pops-off w/ 2-3 pulls in the spring. Been this way since adding Heet to our farm equipment in the 70-s-80's so my $$$ & vehicles...using it as I wish.
I have observed that effect, that is why I started using 2stroke oil for stored engines/cars/bikes.Most 2-cycle oils have a form of fuel stabilizer in them. I use only stihl brand 2-cycle oil. Once mixed gas in can will last 2-3 years with no issues.

Or ask their 14 y/o manager.I think I'll ask the 16 y/o working part time at the local Speedway gas station their opinion.
