I have approximately 25 gallons of Sunoco Supreme 112 race fuel that is in a sealed 55 gallon steel drum and kept in the garage. Does the fuel loose octane or go bad since last season? Thanks.

I've heard, although not personally experienced, that if it is sealed in a metal container it will last several months.
But the only way to find out for sure is for you to send it my way to test. Be forewarned though, it might take all 25 gallons to figure out!

I also have about half of a drum of Sunoco 112 for last spring. A friend of mine told me to go buy about 20 gallons of fresh fuel to mix with it. Just a thought but you could always mix some fresh fuel with your old stuff.
