It should be fine for starting a fire or geting your BBQ going :woot: :woot:

I would not personally use this fuel after 3 years if you look at it very closely you will find a water residue lying on the top of the fuel

Also if the bottle has been opened and depending on where it has been stored has alot to do with whether it would be safe to use or not

Fuel collects moisture from air so if you had half empty bottle of fuel you had loads of air in to absorb water from - that doesn't help fuel much. Also if it was stored in place where sun shined on bottle directly - it doesn't help fuel too. If it's stored in can or bottle that isn't transparent then sun is no problem as UV radiation is cause of problems.

if the bottle is sealed should be fine just give it a good shake.
If it has be opened the nitro content will be low as soon a you open the bottle the fuel starts loosing nitro.
The only water will be what is in the air gap not much.
Regards
Jim
