Q: What is the shelf life of STA-BIL Fuel Stabilizer?
A: The shelf life of all STA-BIL products is 2 years after the bottle has been opened, provided it has been tightly capped and stored in a cool, dry place. If the product has not yet been opened, you should use the color of the fluid as an indicator. If the product is still bright red, it is fine to use. If the product has turned to a very dark red (or brown) color, we recommend purchasing a new bottle. It will not harm anything if you use an old bottle of STA-BIL, it just may not be as effective.

From some forum somewhere:

I talked to the StaBil rep at the power tour at Springfield today and he said the shelf life is 2 years according to their literature but it will last longer. He said that when it starts to turn dark in the container it is time to dump it in your tank and buy some fresh.

Being as you don't need it anyhow,.....unless you're letting gas set for a year or more, I'd bet it will be just fine.
