How long can nitro be stored in sealed jug?
Relecting obama is like shooting right foot because it did not hurt enough when you shot left foot

I would think a long time as long as one keeps it full and refrains from exposing it to oxygen constantly. Keeping a half full jug/container of straight or mixed is more likely to go bad quicker.

 Nitro doesn't attract moisture like methanol. There is no shelf life that I'm aware of.
