I've had a partial 55 gal drum last 2 years while I was re-doing the engine. Don't know if it would've lasted longer. I burned it with no problems. The important thing is to keep the drum off the concrete and make sure it is sealed up tight between the times that you pump fuel out. I always remove the pump and seal the drum between fillings.
That's one way methanol has it over racing gasoline. Once you've popped the cork on a drum of racing gasoline, it goes sour fast.
