I'm pretty sure if it's sealed, it'll live through the winter.

LOL, yeah well

most of that is still sealed in the original 55 gallon drum. I've got a couple 5 gallon track cans filled, and another drum about half full but with the cap on it.

I know alteast the sealed drum will be ok.

all else fails, i'll use it in the truck

C16 is good for a long time as long as it is sealed up. And in a cool dry place. Down here in Texas i leftr some sitting out one time where the sun got to it. discolored the gas and seperated somew of the chemicals. Needles to say the lawn moer and pocket bike ended up getting it.
