What is the shelf life of fuel power in an unheated garage?

[Buzzsaw]

I plan on buying a couple gallons of this stuff and plan on keeping it in an unheated garage or barn. I am wondering how long it will last in a non climate controlled building. I am not worried how it will last in the winter but it gets really hot in the summer.

I had a bottle sitting in the unheated shed for three years and it was stable when used recently.

Would the shelf life of Fuel Power also apply to Lube Control?

Thanks Molakule.

I'm also very interested in that. I went through 1/2 of gallon in more then a year, and I wonder if it is still good...

I believe that it should last longer in a cooler environment. In the o-chem that lab that I worked for, everything that could possible deteriorate was placed in the "freezer." At lower temperatures, there is less potential activation energy (free energy of activation) that could cause a side reaction. You might have separation but by simply shaking the container, it should be like new.

Odis had some in his garage for years and it was fine. He poured it right in and it worked fine and it gets plenty hot here in Texas.

LCD,
Thanks for the information.

considering it's a petroleum based product...probably a couple hundred million years
