Shelf Life for Sta-Bil?

[J Beard]

Had someone tell me the other day that I should buy my Sta-Bil in the smaller containers as once they are opened even stabilizer has a shelf life.
Never heard this one before.
Anyone ever hear this before??????????????????????????????

I think it has a shelf life of about 2 years. I usually use it within a few months, but I did have a bottle turn an off color on me, so I chunked it, I thought it might have gone bad on me.

The bottle I have says to use contents before a 2 year span after opened.

Dont spill it on paint you care about and dont mix it heavier than bottle specs I had to regasket a couple carbs because "a little extra cant hurt??"

Stabiliser going off. Ok. Sounds fishy.

The bottle claims you can "double dose" for two years' storage protection. Done it often with 0 problems. Curious why it attacked your gaskets.

That's what I read on my bottle, too.

For those who are interested, here's the FAQ from the manufacturer:

I had a big bottle for a couple of years and then I noticed what looked like some large flakes of paper floating in it. I called the company and they said that they have had that happen when their product began to get older.
