Tell you a funny story.....always paranoid as to how I store my fuel or making sure jugs are not in the sun as I had a problem years back with fuel 2 races old not passing...was told by an official to always take the first cup on a deadhead system and dump it..then sample the second cup....I had a plastic jug of C11 in my trailer that was old and didn't want to risk using it at NHRA races......well it ended up sitting in my fuel jug rack for 2 years......I'm at a race seeing a fellow competitor having problems passing.....with nothing to do as racing was over for the day I grabbed that 2 year old plastic jug and ran it down to fuel check just for the sh??ts and giggles...wanted to see how bad it gets letting it sit that long in this type of jug.

Was shocked when the official says it passes......my reply was "is it close ?"...he said "it's right in the middle"........so go figure....used it up at that race and the rest is history.
