Torco- shelf life?

Have had 2 cans of Torco sitting in the garage in a cabinet for @6months. Now with GA basically running out of gas I had to resort to "regular" gas in my H/C C6 and was looking to put these to use.

Is there a shelf life (going bad) for this stuff or am I good to just pour them right in?

Good question. I have 3 of the 32 oz cans in my garage that are close to 4 years old. No need for them with the C6.

I beg to differ...

I run a can in every tank on both my cars.

Torco has told me that the shelf life is 10 to 12 months when stored properly.

I can understand why in your modded cars, I should have said "No need for Torco with my STOCK C6".

JB, I have a couple cans that have been stored in my garage for about 3 years. Are they pretty much useless now?

After 3 years, I would not trust it...

Thanks. I have no need for them but I was considering selling them to someone who does. I don't want them paying for something they can't use though. It could be catastrophic. Maybe I'll see what other uses I have for a highly flammable liquid....
