Hi all. I mixed some petrol with 2 stroke oil about a month ago. Given that I won't be using it again until at least the first week in December due to lockdown, it it still useable after 2 months, or would you throw it away and mix a fresh batch when it is needed?
I hope everyone is well. Unfortunately I can't do any more building during lockdown as the garage is full of models built the last time. Plenty of crash fodder methinks!

Stay safe.

I can't remember when I last mixed some petrol, I've got a 10L can which lasts forever for my DLE61, I've never noticed an issue with fuel that's many months old.

It was a little bit of an issue in the early days of the leaded fuel we used to have. I am thinking on my 2T Suzuki 125 in 1969 and my Lambretta 175. ;) My petrol 1/5th scale buggy sits in the garage for year. Two pulls on the starter and away it goes....
