As a new owner and somewhat mechanical layman I hope someone more knowledgeable can provide me some advice.
I am in the process of putting my snowmobiles into storage for the (riding) season end and have allot of fuel to drain from their tanks. The fuel is 93 octane and will be treated with Seafoam brand stabilizer. My question is, can I use this fuel in my 3 week old gas only Limited?
Additionally I also have about 20 litres of 87octane fuel in gerry can that is about 4months old (Staybil treated). Can I use this?

With the high cost of fuel ant the moment and to avoid having to buy additional Gerry cans, for the sled fuel, I was hoping to use these fuels, rather than store it.

Thank you

usually 91/93 gas will be "fresh" between 3-6 months depending on container and it being sealed from the elements. gas containing any ethanol will only be good for 2-3 months

if the gas smells like varnish, it has gone bad and use it for something that doesnt care for the quality of the gas.

personally i use 91/93 for the snow blower and gas lawn mower. so the gas is never older than 6 months since i use the same plastic 5gal container for both. so it never sits longer than 6 months before being used up.
