Guys - quick question, how long can sealed/unopened 50% nitro fuel last? Thx - Kip
 
I'm running 65% that has been sealed/unopened and still in the original 4 gallon box that has sat in the basement for 5 years. Just opened up the box this year. Still good to use.

I have 6 gallons of 70% and 3 gallons of 80% left, I brought with me when we moved to Florida 10 years ago, every now and then when I feel like it I take the 70% or the 80% to the lake and run a few tanks thru something for fun, no problems at all

It depends on how well you store the fuel. Keep it out of the sun in a cool place and it will last several years.
