Does methanol expire??? lol

I have a 5gal drum that has never been cracked open. Been sitting in my garage for ~1 year now. Does it go bad? Sorry for the lame question!

has it been on the concrete or on carboard or wood?

If it"s been on the concrete there is a chance it could be contaminated with water inside due to condensation, if off the ground chances are its still good.

keeping it sealed is critical. It will absorb moisture if left open.

if you are just usig it for meth injection you will be fine, a little water wont hurt you, next time keep it off the concrete a block of wood is all you really need

As said above, if you're only using it as a supplemental fuel, it will be fine even if it absorbed a little water. I doubt it even did though. I've been using a 55gal drum that I bought 3 years ago now and it's still fine...
