just wondering. like the title says, how long is C16 fuel good for before it starts droping octane once its opened and introducted to oxygen? i am thinking about buying a drum.

Just keep it cool and tightly sealed and it will last a couple years or more, I have let 1/2 used drums of c-16 sit for over the winter and used it the next year with no problem. You will go through a drum pretty quick if you race the car a couple times a month, when its just sitting there it gets used

One season, many C16 racers won't use gas that is over a year old that has been open.

Remember, 55 gallon drum = 10 fillups.

When I run I put in 10 gallons, since I don't want to uncover the external fuel pumps.

Trust me when you pay 8-10.00 a gallon for that stuff and there is a year old drum sitting there half empty 'most' racers I know would pour it right in their car LOL
