Same with me, I have a 55 gallon drum of C16, transfer what I need for the race into plastic jugs. As leaving fuel in the heat and/or sunlight, I transfer the fuel back into the barrel (which is kept in a cool area) when I get home. Don't keep race fuel in your trailer between races as it can get crazy hot in an enclosed trailer baking in the sun. For the record, C12 is probably OK longer term but C16 degrades pretty quickly so I never keep it more than 1 year, I learned that lesson the hard and expensive way.
