Default Quick Question

I have 5 gallons of 92 octane fuel which i purchased last year in september. It has not been mixed yet and was wondering if it will still be good to use or if i should put it in lawn equipment and get new fuel? Hate to do it because of prices. Thanks,
Adam

ReeperLT500 has a little shameless behaviour in the past

My personally wouldn't put it in my quad. A year is a long time to be just sitting there. Here's what I found on google....

"Unless contaminated with another substance, gasoline and fuel oils remain usable under most circumstances. However, as gasoline ages, it tends to lose some of its ability to ignite in an engine. Old gas used at full strength may account for sluggish behavior or temporary failure of an engine. Stored for long periods, gasoline can become contaminated by rust particles, dirt or water and become “gummy” or “varnished”. Most gasoline, even if it is old or contains oil or water, may be used after it is “reconditioned”. Reconditioned gasoline can be used in cars and trucks, and some two-cycle engines such as lawn mowers, snow blowers and outboard motors. "

Hope this helps. -Mark
