Nitro fuel shelf life?

[TripleSix]

Tried searching, wondering how long the shelf life is for nitro fuel?

I was wondering this one myself. I had a case of it from last year say all winter and summer till weather was good. It still cranks out the power. I think as long as its sealed. And you shake it really good so it re oxigenates. Should last a year atleast. But I go through it to fast to be that old. Only down time is extreme heat during summer and rain.

ive often heard that as long as you keep it off the cold floor, like the garage and basement floors, and keep it in a dark place, it should keep for awhile, at least a year, i keep my fuel in the upstairs closet over the winter months

a couple things to help keep it fresh is keep it out of sun light and in a cool dry place but the shelf life of it depends on how long the fuel sat before it was put into the containers and sold so just run the fuel lol and make sure you shake it evey once in a while like max had said.
