Fuel storage

Post by mick_dundee »

Ok so I have the tank from my bike in for a respray thanks to some f'n arsewipe deciding to key it one day while I was at work.. so just wondering how long I can keep the fuel for?
A good mate will bail you out of jail, a true mate will be sitting in the cell next to you saying "Damn, we fucked up!!!"

According to Shell Australia’s Technical Advice Centre Manager, Warren Scott, you can generally store fuel in a sealed container for around six months before it starts to deteriorate.
This assumes it’s kept relatively cool and away from direct sunlight.
Longer than you need!
