Sorry I looked all over for the answer but couldn't find it. How long does the pre mix stay good for.

Thanks,
Darrell

Im not sure about every one else but i dont like to have it sit longer than two weeks . I dont buy more than i can use for the time frame of two weeks max. And i also dont buy just after the gas station got a fresh load . Too many chances of water thats with pump fuel . Im not talking about race fuel,which has a chance of spoilage if it sits to long as well. but you be the judge

OK, thanks. I guess I have to dump a couple gallons.

Not sure, but I have found older containers of pre-mix oil around and when I poured some out ,it was chunky? Threw it away! Also, If I have some gas that I'm questionable on, I just put it in the riding mower, and sometimes it RUNS better!LOL!

yuk, old gas!!!
Nothing worse.
Once its in the tank, its hard to get it all out.
When we first started selling minis, we tried to jet one for hours, b4 we figured out the guy cleaned out his old gas can by pouring every last drop in the drr. It didn't smell old, so it was hard to figure out. Now its the first thing I check when they spit and sputter.
