How long does petrol last?

Viirin · 07-07-2010, 10:30 PM

I've got 5 litres of petrol in a jerry tank in my shed just in case i run out one day and need some as back up - just wondering does it go off? - reading all those posts about bad petrol in the tank after being stored for the winter is making me worry - is something to do with the tank or being exposed to air and is there any way to test if your petrol has gone bad?

My jerry tank is a small, plastic, air tight one.

Thanks
