Dave,
Sorry, but I just can't help myself and no disrespect intended.
I don't know how long fuel stabilizer lasts but it looks like you are askin=
g how long the can will last.
I have two WW II US Army five gallon cans that were originally on a WW II U=
S Army tank and at 75 years old they are still good, do not leak, are not r=
usty inside or outside, and hold fuel for as long as I need them to, which =
is a lot less than 20-30 years.
If you are describing a 20-30 year old fuel can with 20-30 year old fuel in=
it that had fuel stabilizer added to it 20-30 years ago, it is amazing the=
cap seal has not allowed all of it to evaporate after 20-30 years. If that=
can does still have 20-30 year old gas in it - by now that stuff will prob=
ably be varnish and sludge. Great for starting bonfires. Maybe.
Might be fun to pour some in a lawn mower and see if it runs. I would love =
to try that in my mother-in-laws 50 year old 3 hp Briggs and Stratton rotar=
y mower.

not seriously, but anyone think its still good????
