The PCs will be locating an old Skoda automobile factory of sorts in order to gather supplies for their repair of a motorboat (sure, it's not an exact fit, but they will be able to approximate the correct replacement parts). In there, I was hoping to stash away an old drum of gasoline/diesel (whichever the boat will take) for them to discover in order to fuel the vehicle. Now, if it had to be recently produced due to having a short shelf-life, i'll need to find another way to make it's discovery feasible. |

Now, assuming that the fuel had been given stabilisation treatments (not a given, but likely if it is a substantial quantity), it can stay useable for longer than official shelf life numbers indicate. If you have time to filter it, it may well be that even a decade old gasoline can be used. But it's not certain, it may not even be likely and as for longer than that, probably not.

Unstabilized gasoline starts breaking down at about 3 months, and is mostly useless by the 6 month mark. With a stabilizer like Sta-bil, it can last up to a year.
Storing it in an air tight container with a very small amount of surface area can increase this a bit. The more surface area, especially if that surface area interfaces with air, the faster it will degrade. Edit: I had to do some research on this myself a couple years ago for a post apoc setting.

Re: My TL 7-10 semi Post-Apocalyptic Campaign Question Thread
Hey guys.
A question on medical supplies: generally, how long would the contents of a sealed/shut first aid or full medical kit last before being unsafe to use on injuries? Are there any critical medicines or salves that can last virtually forever? I ask because I am trying to make scavenging at least somewhat more realistic. |

H202 depens on the percentage and how its stored. It slowly degrades into water and oxygen.
Burncream has a short shell life if I remember correctly, but should be somewhat easy to make if you have the correct skills. |
