Re: should i use c16 thats been in storage (eg crunkmonster)

I would just drain it and use fresh, not worth the risk, I know my heart would be pounding when I first got on the gas, waiting for some serious detonation.
I think E85 is the same way, has a short shelf life.

C16 is actually more stable than regular pump gas. It should be fine as long as it did not get significant UV exposure.
You might want to do a search - I recall another thread on this topic a while back that had a lot of input from racers who held gas over from the previous season.

Little information I linked to in that thread about race fuel storage.

I would not use it because of the container it was stored in.

Light it on fire and see... If it burns, its good. If not, then its no good...
jk
... I wouldnt use it since the container didnt really "protect" it from the sun.

A little off-topic, but i had an Autos teacher in High School who built an air cooled VW engine snowblower. Just for fun (and because he had some sitting around) he decided to put some Nitro Methane in with the gasoline. From what he told us, it worked well for a while, but the extra "juice" caught up to it. I've seen the carnage

From what I've been told c16 has a significant shelf life in a sealed metal container, but only good for a few weeks in the plastic containers... I wouldn't use it.
