2 stroke mix is good for about 3 week to a month in the summer. After that the mix oil no longer suspends properly.

If a 2 stroke engine is to be stored more than a week in should be run dry so the carb diaphrams don't stick.

If you have alcohol in the fuel where you live you should always buy fresh gas as ethanol has a strong desire to be with water which doesn't lubricate well.

Hope this helps.
