Hi Ausfishers

There is about 15 litres of pre-mixed fuel in the tank that's been there for about 3 to 4 months. Do you think it's still ok or should I dispose of it and start fresh?

Regards
Brad

Nah, if it were me I would throw it in the car and forget it ever existed.

Probably no big deal really but I'd stick it in the car and put some fresh stuff in anyway.

Not worth the risk. Dispose it at local mechanics oil sump an start fresh. I don't like the idea of running it through the car as some fuels are dropping a lot of varnish in storage and many cars filters for injected are very fine. If the tote it was stored in wasn't sealed and out of sun and cool much of the volatile elements will be gone and this will burn differently and can cause engine damage.

Types of cars that can run old fuel:
Any Company car
Any Rental car
Your boss's car
Don't run it through a Jap car as it may reduce the life of the motor from 5 years to only 2...;D ;D
