First, the sun\u2019s ultraviolet rays are a major enemy to all          racing fuel. A racer\u2019s mistake of setting a fuel jug in the          direct sunlight during race day is the most rapid example of          killing a fuel\u2019s effectiveness. Storing fuel out of indirect          sunlight over the long term is very beneficial.<\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding:          0px 20px; line-height: 24px; color: rgb(71, 71, 71);          font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style:          normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps:          normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2;          text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none;          white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;          -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255,          255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style:          initial; text-decoration-color: initial;\">\u201cAnother enemy is air          humidity,\u201d Moose says. \u201cTypically, storage in your garage or          shop is okay as long as it is away from big temperature swings.          Steady temperature between races of 60 and 75 degrees is best.          Between 60 to 90 degrees should be\u00a0 your outer limits.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding:          0px 20px; line-height: 24px; color: rgb(71, 71, 71);
