I have kept fuel for a 20 hp Honda general from one hurricane season to the next. Always put the old gas in my truck along with any old 2-stroke fuel left over. I used to store about 25 gallons for a backup. Seafoam works as well as Staybill for me. Do not allow fuel to remain in carb or fuel filter.

I burn it up in my Gas engines and finally whatever is left on year 3 in my truck and refill. No issues. Probably could go much longer but rotation is easy. Member MTPCA, FTA and NTA

I have tried running them out and have chosen leave them full of star tron mixed fuel. America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.
