How long is nitro fuel good for if kept covered in a dark & cool location like in a cellar? I have some partial jugs of heli, boat and Traxxas truck fuel that I was going to dispose of but given the replacement cost I figured I would ask if it has a shelf life.

Personally, several years it will still be fine for break in of motors and general playing around.
i wouldn't do any testing or racing with several year old fuel...but I would Personally use it for above reasons...unless it was opened up several times a month ;-)
 
If it is kept in a cool, dry and dark place, it will last a few years. But, before you use it, pour it through a fine filter to remove any coagulated oil.
