Hi Scott, Wikipedia reads as follows: "Motor gasoline may be stored up to 60 days in an approved container. If it is to be stored for a longer period of time, a fuel stabilizer may be used. This will extend the life of the fuel to about 1–2 years, and keep it fresh for the next uses." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasoline#Stability This interesting link was quoted in the wikipedia entry: http://www.alpharubicon.com/altenergy/gasstoretg.htm
