I have a 55 gallon drum of 110 octane and was wondering how long it will last. I keep it sealed at all times and its in a big wooden shed. We do get to cold temps in the winter probly averaging around 30 but it can get to single digits sometimes. Let me know how long it will be ok to run in my raptor and if there is any tricks to keeping it good. Thanks

As long as its out of the sun and air tight, you'll be alright. Only thing that worrys me is the tempature changes, not sure if that does anything to it or not.
Just a little 81hp trail bike.

You should be good for at least 6 months........you might get a year out of it. Put the drum on a couple of chunks of 4''X 4'' so it's not sitting on a cement floor or the ground. I used to store 13 barrels of methanol for the race season,and usually had a drum left over that would last thru the winter and run fine the following season in my sprint car......gas stores much better than Methanol from what I have seen.
