The time it takes for your gas to start becoming “old” is about 1 month for ethanol-free, or 3 months for regular. There are a few factors that come into play with why gas goes bad, but in general exposure to oxygen is the primary culprit. I’m going to cover why your gas goes bad in the first place, why fuel stabilizers won’t restore your gas, and what you should do with your old gasoline. Fuel stabilizers are designed to be used as a preventative measure against evaporation, oxidizing, and the loss of volatile gasoline vapors. Is it too late to add fuel stabilizer or is the gas already ruined?Īdding fuel stabilizer to old gas will not harm or decrease the current efficacy of your old gasoline in any manner but it will not restore your gasoline to its original state. If you haven’t added a fuel stabilizer, you’re probably wondering if you should store the gas for a later date, use it immediately, or if it will even work at all. Have you ever found yourself at the end of a summer or winter season and you didn’t use very much of that 5-gallon gasoline can in your lawnmower or generator? Or maybe you haven’t run your car in 6 months.
