Gasoline does not go 'bad' in the chemical sense -- it gets water in it. To make matters worse, when you have water sitting under oil [gasoline], it acts as a barrier to evaporation; small amounts of water, like dew, can drip into the gas ... How would you clean up gasoline? And what is the chemical formula for gasoline?

Gasoline usually contains additives affecting the way it burns (A separate chemical fact sheet is available for MTBE, ... Based on the formula, we recommend levels of gasoline in air be no higher than 6 ppm. To prevent irritation and health effects to the nervous system, we suggest you store gasoline outside of your home.
