Racing gas will go bad if exposed to the sun, same reason that the sun rays can over time make a tire rot or kill a good paint job. The sun separates the lead from the fuel, it's ultraviolet rays will come through lighter colored jugs. Vp use to recommends red colored jugs, the darker the better. If you can buy VP 5-gallon fuel jugs for sale at most races do it. 55 gallon drums are the best since they're lined with Teflon but ot always feasible. Remember keep the fuel cool, away from the sun and high temperatures.CR
