Gas stored in Reda container
How often do you change out the gas in your Reda gas can? Have had the gas in my Reda can for over a year. I did put some Stabil in it. I think I will dump it in my Nissan tank (full) and put new fuel and Stabil in the Reda.

I stored some gas in a generator for almost 5 years (not on purpose) but I put stabil in it when I stored it. It was a little hard to start when I got it out, but once started, it ran fine. I've been meaning to get one of those reda cans, and just for good measure, I'd probably put fresh gas in it at the start of the year and dump it in the winter.

Absolutely, keep fresh gasoline. QT had a problem with their guaranteed gas when owners of hy-brids reported gas problems because they refueled so infrequently.
As others have said, why take a chance?

I use a product called PRI-G and add it to all the gas that I buy. When I start my snow blower for the first snow after it has been sitting for nearly a year it runs as good as it does with fresh gas in it. Same for the lawn mower, power washer etc. Since I never know when I'm putting in the last tank of the season, I just add PRI-G to every can of gas I buy. They claim that it's good for at least 2 years.
Also use it in my boat and truck which hardly gets driven anymore since I got the bike. I use it in the bike in the winter since the weather can get bad and it may not get ridden for a bit.

I keep non ethanol 91 in mine and I also use it in all my small motors. I have had no problems with 6 month old gas in nothing that I own now thwt I use it.
