Resolved Ethanol free gas?

[flh69]

Non ethanol gas became available in my area several years ago & I have been using it ever since. I have also also added Stabil to the gas when I buy it.
I use it in all of my equipment & I was wondering how long this gas will keep before starting to deteriorate? I have several old walk behind Gravely's and a snow blower that don't get used too often & the gas sits in them for quite some time.

I think stabil claims two years when added to fuel, but I’m sure there’s some small print with caveats. On its own, I couldn’t tell ya.

I did see an article Stabil claims two years. I wonder if that is for gas with ethanol or for non ethanol too?

I use stabile in non ethanol gas for my machines. I keep a couple of 5 Gallon containers just for the generator. They claim 2 years but I rotate all the gas out at 1 year and refill for the generator.

I have taken 5 gallon cans and treated them with both stabil, and seafoam. After 4 years it is still safe to mix 50 to 50 or less with new gas and burn in a vehicle.

I have been hearing a lot about a product called Pri - G. It has a historical track record, and it claims to be able to keep gas good indefinitely. It takes a lot less to stabilize the fuel than with the other two methods, and if you treat the fuel once a year you can make it last indefinitely.

These are the claims by Pri-G, however I can find no one, or no website that discredits this information.

The biggest thing in keeping gas fresh is a well sealed container. A metal Jerry can in good condition will keep gas way longer than a plastic gas can.

You can actually keep gasoline for decades if you can fill a metal Barrel completely to the top and remove all air.

This guy is pretty sharp. There are videos from the beginning of this test.
