Tony - additives to gasoline help stabilize gum formation. However, gasoline does have a shelf life. One of the components that makes up blended gasoline contains olefins. Olefins react with air over time and form gum. I recommend that you pour from the containers into your vehicles every 6 months, and then refill containers. If the gasoline in the containers has been there 12 months or more, I would suggest that you mix one 5 gallon container with a tank fill-up. Dilution is good in this case. As gasoline destabilizes and forms gum the color becomes a darker yellow. My 2 cents.

Actually, I'm in the process of using the one year old fuel now, so that I can get fresh fuel for the season. Six months, really, I thought that a year was the shelf-life. Anyway, thanks for correcting me on that. Normally, I'd be using the fuel year round for my lawn tractor but this year it's been in the shop for 9 months. It's a 30 year old Cub Cadet with a rebuilt tecumseh engine. Last year, the bearings started to go in the mowing deck. Well, there is no Cub dealer in this area and the shop is having a hell of a time getting replacement bearings, from MTD, because he's not "an official dealer." The fact that the tractor is so old is also an issue.

Any way, I've been putting the old gas in Mrs. 5150's Demo car!! No way I'd run it in the TA and by the time anything happens, she'll be in a new Camry or Corolla. OK, I know that's a little wrong but I couldn't think of how else to get rid of it.

Tony, you need to get some jetskis to use that left over gas in like I do. Gas can rotation! After each hurricane threat I empty the leftover gas into my skis so it never goes bad

I always keep 35 Gallons of Gasoline, on hand, year round. That's why I'm very interested in the FJ "Fuel Can Mod" as seen at the SEMA show.

I see Zaino Car Detailing products on the shelf up there...wise choice you can spray z-6 on the FJ in the garage when the storm hits

That would actually be the most crucial item, at the TOP of our list.

At least there's gonna be lotsa mud after all of this moves out of here.

It is raining it's 'nads off here right now.

LMAO!! Only the best for my FJ and Trans AM. I just hope that the heat of a 100 degree plus Florida garage hasn't affected the Zaino products. I know it's bad if they aren't stored at certain temps.
