          A combination of UV reaction with the dye in the fuel and possibly moisture in the methanol, store your fuel in the dark. This also happens when you return unused fuel to the can.....


          Should be OK to use, but you probably won't achieve the same power....

            While we're on the subject of old fuel. I found a gallon of 20% cool power in my friends garage that's unopened but has been there for about 3-4 years.
            A long shot, but would this still be usable?
