Hi,

Does anyone know what the shelf life is for gasoline? I have about a half
can (2.5 gallons) of fuel-oil outboard mixture from last season. Is it OK
to use in the upcoming season or do I need to get rid of it? And does the
presence of oil vs. pure gas affect it? I'd hate to get stranded or damage
my engine just to save a couple of bucks.

Also, I've heard of fuel stabilizers that extend the life of gas. Does
anyone know how well they work, how long and where do you get them?

Thanks,
