Here's my story on aging of fuel:

About 6-7 years ago one of my neighbors went wild at a 
going-out-of-business sale that a local department store was having.  
He  bought 6 or 7 cans (1 gallon each) of Coleman fuel.

Then about 5 years ago, my neighbor moved and decided he really 
didn't want to take the fuel with him.  So he gave it to me.  

I am still using it, with no problems.

I will say that I usually use up a gallon within a year of when I 
open it.  Maybe the fuel wouldn't last years once opened.
