BIOBOR JF How long it is effective

Due to covid, we have not used our motorhome for 14 months. Accept for some generator and engine exercise, it has not been run. Prior to this inactivity, I poured the recommended amount of BIOBOR JF in our fuel tank and topped it off.  I was wondering how long the BIOBOR JF was good for?  There was no "time" data on the bottle. The website of Hammonds Fuel Additives in Houston stated that the fuel should be tested biannually and treated quarterly. Since that did not directly answer my question. I called them and spoke to Mike. He said it was good for 3 years!

I too have been using the Biobor per Bretts and others recommendation. That being said the fuel in my coach last June was last fueled in 2007 at the newest and possibly older than that. Yes it would of failed if tested but it was not cloudy. No visible growth and I ran the generator on that fuel for 100 hours. Big soot pattern at exhaust on ground. Drove coach and added 150 gallons of fresh fuel within 100 miles. Don't really know how it performed because I was driving so slow. Tires were also 2005 dated. It was also pure fuel I'm guessing, no bio fuel as we have today. I would use it, that being said I also carry spare filters.
