it comes in a metal barrel But those race jugs are fine to keep race gas in Does it smell like old gas??? Most shops keep barrels till theyre sold & that takes awhile at some places Try to find a high volume dealer & if the race fuel was mine Id prolly get a new jug & mix the old stuff Then you can go burn it off Just dont get a ticket LoL Or if its not much put it in somethin like a motor cycle & go play Regular gas starts to go to **** after 30 days but its been 5 + yrs since I had to worry about race gas Im sure others more knowlegable will chime in

Storing race fuel in a plastic jug is not a good idea. It will ruin the fuel.

Is it the lead in the race fuel that doesn't sit well with the plastics?

What about unleaded race fuel?

To be honest with you I can not remember the exact terminology. I read an article written by a race fuel company a while back. Take this loosely, but from what I remember it stated that race fuel looses its octane by UV rays and being exposed to the environment. Plastic jugs are translucent and do not provide the best storage results like the metal can does. They also recommend storing the barrel of fuel on a pallet so that it is not sitting ion the concrete.

I know that last year I had a 5 gallon jug of fuel sitting in the back of the shop that I pored in the race car. The car ran really bad and when I drained the fuel out it was full of water. I do not know if the fuel had water in it from the race track i bought it at or if the plastic fuel jug built up condensation in it.

That makes sense with the UV rays.

Same thing with beer. SG goes to **** when light is allowed to penetrate into the bottle and it goes sour.

Fuel is blended to a specific SG so I can see where the two go together.

I just got 5 gallons of 110 in a 5 gallon gas container. I will probably use the other half this Saturday. I'm guessing it being in there for 4 days isn't going to ruin it?
