Thankyou.
So do you think once it's mixed it has a kinda shelf life ! Where the fuel performance drops off.

That's a whole new can of worms & gets regular openings on here & car forums!

In an unsealed container fuel will deteriorate quicker than in a full & sealed container.
As my tanks are the plastic type & the biggest ones only hold 25 litres it doesn't last long enough for me to be concerned.
That said, I wouldn't be unduly bothered if the fuel is a few months old but I do close the tank vents at the end of each day's usage.
I think it's going to be more of an issue for those with large inbuilt fuel tanks.
At the end of the season I drain all remaining fuel - normal petrol for the main engine as it's an oil injection 2-stroke & the fuel tanks just hold petrol - and the small quantity of 50:1 premix from the Suzuki & it all goes into my car.
The car's pushing 40 years old so none of the modern electrickery stuff & I've had no issues, but it's only a tiny amount of 2-stroke oil anyway which would be massively diluted.
