Question

How long can petrol be stored for?

Accepted Answer

The average shelf-life of petrol is about 6 months. Petrol stored for longer than this can become unusable as it may gather moisture and oxidate which over time will reduce its effectiveness. You will know your fuel has oxidised if its gained a bitter smell and a darker colour.

To avoid this, store petrol in a well sealed container and ensure its used within 6 months.
