Should be fine if its in a cold dark cupboard and tightly sealed, Ive stored fuel half full in a cupboard for over a year and it was fine.

Id say your good to go also, Ive used fuel that was way older than that an it was fine.
I bought a used truck one time that had fuel with it that he said was 1 1/2 old.(looked older)
He put some in it and it fired right up. (losi xxxnt sport)
