Default How long can you store race gas before it goes bad?

Have some stored C16, about a gallon of it in my alt fuel cell that I think may have gone bad, its been in there for a few months should it still be good?

For a few months - it should be fine.

C-16 "usually" lasts a long time. It all depends on where you get it. I had gas that was a year old and I ran my best time and MPH with it last spring! Tried the same thing this spring with old C-16 from someone else and I could not even get the pedal to the floor before the car was cutting out big time!

hmm put new gas in same results, off the N02 it reads fine, when on the no2 it bounces around kinda like it does when driving around normal. I wonder if these o2s are just not able to read the leaded gas? hmm.
