Tend to agree with magician.

The fuel you buy at the garage can be years old.

I've never found it to be any different, even when mixed with oil.

Store it in the can as full as possible and in the dark.

The octane will drop slightly but that could even make a Rotax go better.

Watch out for any condensation that can accumulate in the bottom, but this happens with new fuel too.

To make you feel happier, mix it 3:1 new to old and remember to shake it well.

Never pour it in a drain or fresh water. It only takes a small amount of oil to contaminate a very large area of water.
