In my experience (limited though it is) something about CERTAIN types of oil break down, over-time, just by being IN the petrol.

It often 'appears' that the fuel-mix 'darkens' with age, even if in a sealed container.

That COULD be an 'oxidation' of the mixture from any air 'trapped' in the container (the space above the fuel).

However, it COULD be that the detergents in fuels (which even the Supermarket fuel contained these days) could be breaking down the oil or whatever!

I have NO PROOF of any of this but I do have 'suspicions'!

Perosnally, we never raced with 'old fuel'.
